Re: Engineers & Textbooks..

I refer to some of mine maybe a few times a year, others have been lost or given away.

The thing about textbooks, especially in this Internet age, is that they are authoratative and explanatory. They can be counted on for correctness (and not some wikipedia drivel*) and the go into pretty good explanations of how something is, so you can remmeber what you ahve since forgotten (they ate learning tools, after all). Not so the Internet in every case.

*Not to say that Wikipedia is drivel, but we all know that inaccuracies can enter the flow. When it really matters (e.g. life-critical), Wikipedia isn't usually a valid source.
