I think I may be in a minority on the list, but I like, use, and consider
pedagogically helpful many of the "instructors' resources." I especially
like really good (i.e. instructive) transparencies.

I believe they can be useful. My point was that they are factored into the
price of the text, something that wasn't there when my copy of Resnick &
Halliday cost $12.50.
