- Hey, now there's an idea! :-)
-
- I got my camel book right before 4.0 came out and it's already starting
- to show its age. What's worse I think I've lent it out longer than I've
- had it in my own posession! :-/ I'm surprised I haven't lost the quick-
- reference guide, though.

- Is the quick-reference guide going to maintain it's "booklet" style
- format? (as opposed to the fold apart map-style format I've seen around)
- Finding things is much easer when flipping pages, than trying to unfold
- and refold those other kinds of guides.
