au contraire.  Google has replaced most of my bookshelf of O'Reilly 
books.  While I'm sure it wouldn't have replaced the gray wall of DEC 
manuals, it does answer all the "how do I" questions I've asked it about 
Linux.  And now that I've asked it MacOS questions, it's come up with 
some answers. But it misses more times than on Linux.
