Re: Are there any recommended Java books?

They are pricey.  Java and Swing are my favorite.  As the other fellow 
mentioned, the Oracle Java Tutorials are pretty good and they do update 
them every couple of years.  They work as a pretty good reference for 
some methods.

I've got a friend talking about getting a glider and he's got a wife and 
a Maule that could tow it :-).  We'll see.  The local airport would be 
perfect for soaring.  There is almost no traffic.  We are always 
surprised when we see an airplane on the ramp.
