That goes for many of us, I should imagine, but personally I wouldn't have a
problem with printing out particularly pertinent chapters.
Of course, given the state of the current Amiga browsers WRT printing,
that'd probably mean we'd need more print-friendly (i.e. PostScript or PDF)
version of the tutorials, as well as HTML... (As you may remember, I *like*
PostScript ;^)

So we're thinking in terms of filling in the gaps left by the Amiga Mail
articles on the DevCD? (And how to use newer APIs that have become
available since they were written?)

Not yet, but I'm working on it ;^)

Ah - but that would be a security risk ;^p
