I was reading your book and it's really awesome. Thank you for writing it. I wanted to let you know that it took me too long to install Watir. Currently, before installing Watir you'll need FFI, but to install FFI I need the Dev Kit. The major point is that Watir needs FFI. The latest version 1.0.10 of FFI is currently broken and will not install, therefore Watir can't be installed. It would be great if you could make a note in your book asking people to use "gem install ffi -v 1.0.9" in order to install the previous versions of FFI (which works). This will save people headaches when installing Watir.

Thank you and great job on the book!
