Well stated Richard.  It's the old "Give a man a fish... teach a man to
fish..." parable.  Practicing finding documentation (for any product or
vendor) when things aren't falling apart makes it much easier to find the
documentation when things are.

On the left side of the http://www.redbooks.ibm.com page, toward the bottom
of the button stack, is one titled "Mailing List."  Each Monday (usually)
you'll get an email detailing the new redbooks, drafts, redpieces, and
notices of residencies and workshops.
