You know, you seem pretty out of touch.

You are comparing something free with a service that costs "couple of $100 bucks", more specifically $400/year for a subscription. If $400 is so little to you that you can just toss it aside that's all well and good, but that is not the case for a lot of people.. most of whom the subject of this post is aimed.

400$/y is not much for what you get from Safari books, and it's a minor expense for many professionals in the first world.
