Nope. My 2004, 2005, and 2006 annuals just arrived last week. But unless you
also buy the $12.95 master index, to find anything is still a bear. Each volume
has its own index, but starting with the most recent and working backward to
find a particular subject takes a while -- especially if you go back to the 1993
issue. IMO, though, given the pace of advancement, the most recent three years
is all that's worthwhile.

They are one and the same.

On the peelers, I too had an old straight metal one that I was so, so used to.
My wife bought one of those Oxo Good Grips, and I refused to use it for over a
year. But once I slipped up and tried it, I have to admit that it's the best
I've ever used. My old tried-and-true 1.99 reliable has fianlly bitten the
dust(not that I'll ever admit it to her...)
