[Ti] newbie

[Barry Lyden]

Welcome to the list Eric!

And congratulations on "getting it" and for providing an Apple-based 
hotspot in your cafe. That's a very generous move and I'm sure your 
customers will appreciate it.

The website you asked about (Dr. Bott) is alive and well. The "alist" 
part of the address is what's broken. Just remove it and surf to what 
you're looking for.
http://www.drbott.com/prod/

I'll let others respond to your questions about the Al Books since I 
don't have experience with them yet.
