Thought for the Dazed

I've had to give up that Distance Learning course as I was having trouble seeing the teacher.

Should Have Pressed F9.....

Just found out today that my beloved Yellow Book, which is the basis of our First Year programming course, has an insane table of contents. It is not wrong, it is wildly wrong, referring to a number of pages that don't actually exist. I've really no idea how this happened, I suspect a change of printers caught Word 2007 on the hop, causing it to kick back by inventing a page 253.

This is rather annoying as we've had loads of them printed. If you have got one of the hallowed tomes, then let me know and I'll send you a PDF with the right numbers in. The only good (if somewhat inexplicable) news, is that the index seems to be correct.

Not that surprising since we'd all thought that he didn't exsist anyway ?

@Yellow Book

I don't require PDF since I own the superior Pink Book ! and I can navigate the Yellow book fine anyway.

Would be useful if all students could download a copy of the PDF, Rob. Any chance of it being stuck on sharepoint?

Paper versions are good, but electronic versions make easy carrying around, and are there fore reference!

It's my belief that no 'Gods' exist.

I also belive that no 'Gods' exsist.
