BTW : Could someone tell me the correct path and filename for obi-wan
4.0. I have no direct ftp-possibilities and have to retrieve all files

In Info-Mac Digest 11:7, Dimitri Boone asks what Inside Mac books he

You might want to consider Symantec's new online version of Inside Mac.
I haven't seen it, but did receive a brochure on it in the mail.  It has

If you're set on hard copies, you may want to check the prices at the US
mailorder houses like MacWarehouse, MacConnection, etc.  They're cheaper
than bookstores, though I don't know how feasible or cost effective it
would be for you since you are in Belgium.
