fantastic – caught this via onair.adobe.com – link failed but right-click and ‘download linked file’ bagged it. By the way, I’m viewing this site using Safari 3.1.1 (4525.18) (updated just this morning) and the side scroll bar has vanished – sure it was fine the other week when I looked at this site!
fyi, the entire book is posted online in HTML now and can be found at:
