	Personal suggestion, DO NOT GET THE PLAUGNER book.  Did I capitalize
enough?  Definately get the Josuttis book, I have it and love it.  Plaugner
wrote the STL included with MSVC, do I need to say anything else about his
quality?  Don't get me wrong, Plaugner is probably a hell of a programmer,
you just can't tell by his implementation of STL that's supplied with VC.
It's crap and few people will argue it.
