AMEN!  The sad thing is that the shops that view training as a threat are 
generally the ones that are underpaying their people.  These same shops also 
fail to understand that they don't really _want_ technical employees that 
_don't_ want additional training.  Your Redbooks are a godsend to those that 
perform "closet learning", due to the fact that most don't have Internet 
access at work and the few hardcopy books available are too pricey for these 
people to take a chance on getting a bad one...
