Alrite, 'books' sounded a bit alien not only because real books are offline but also because they cost money,<br>

I come from the year 2078 to tell you that real books are a purpose and not a device. A book is a convenient unit of a large amount of text. Virtual books are not virtual, because their purpose is real, and so is their usefulness. And electronic books are not electronic, because fileformats never cared about electrons. And regardless of the money that they cost or that they don't, books can be quite priceless.<br>

Seriously my point was not that books are uncool but 1) you cannot access them by clicking through 2) we may not want to link to non-free resources. But again, i don't object i just brought these aspects up. I welcome all fun stuff in my help menu, up to the available screen height.<br>
