<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2843112, member: 19463"]Everything is OK as long as we use our books and don't worship them. Martin has shown us that there is a bit of work needed to make RIC V user friendly. Lets be careful not to throw out the baby with the bathwater even though RIC V seems to have been the last baby using that particular tubful and may not be as pristine as we might like. The question worthy of consideration is whether there will ever be a new edition updating RIC V part 2. I do not know if anyone is even working on it so I know it will not come in my lifetime but the relative costs of an ink on paper version compared to a digital only one is very much a factor. </p><p><br /></p><p>Quite a few teachers tell their students not to trust information found online. Others say only believe what you read on sites with .edu or .gov addresses. Almost 20 years ago I received a note from a student who had been marked down on a paper he wrote using my website as a source. He wanted to know if I could provide a book reference for what I said so he could fight for a better grade. Today I hope he is a teacher and doing a better job teaching skills of using the <i>evil</i> Internet and, particularly, that we need to use the same skills of reading critically on paper as well as on screens. Being in a book does not make something true. If my test papers from school in the 1950's were all regraded with answers considered correct today my scores would have qualified me for a lobotomy rather than a scholarship. Read carefully.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
