Re: R/S 4.0 Written Beta available on 11 Aug 2009

Has anyone paid for access to the "rough cuts" version of the new v4.0
Cert Guide (est. final publication in Nov '09)? If so, could you
please take the time to share your thoughts as to the value of this?
A bundle can be purchased that allows for access to the online rough
cut version and then apparently you receive a print copy when it goes
final. This runs $121.48USD, which is a tad steep IMHO (simply pre-
ordering the print book alone runs $62.99USD, so you're basically
paying double for a few months of access to the rough cut version).
Not sure that's worthwhile in my specific case since pass/fail is not
all that critical to me just now (not presently eligible to recertify
but I want to sit the beta anyway).

Thanks all,

Scott
