[Charlug] Re: CharLUG Library

One last point. O'Reilly gave us many of these books, but they are ours now,
right? So we can do with them what we wish. (I would think...) IANAL

Checked a couple boxes, though. Most seem to have "CharLUG" in magic marker
on the outsides of the pages. So I doubt that any library will accept them
in that state...

Oh, well.

Cynically speaking, one could say that it is true to life to be cynical
about it.
 - Paul Tillich

Here's a tip to avoid death by celebrity: First off, get a life. They can't
touch you if you're out doing something interesting.
