Russell,
     I really appreciate all of this info on info about the Arduino. I=20
prefer books over the screen because it is easier for me to use. With my=20
disability it is very hard for me to sit and read a screen. With a book=20
I can lay back with the book in my lap and read the book. Also when I am=20
programming something it is much easier to have the book laying right in=20
front of me as I work with the IDE. That way I don't have to keep=20
switching back and forth between screens.
     The reason for the questions is because money is very tight and I=20
want to get the most for my money. I bought several different PIC books=20
and the value of the books ranged from poor to very good. I figured I=20
would get the input from the experts on the site and learn from their=20
experience. Yes, I have been to the official Arduino websites.
     Which one is the stolen book? I am confused about which way you are=20
referencing the different books.
Thanks,
rich!
