I forgot to mention Safari myself. I've got an unlimited account through 
work, and it's totally worth it--especially if you're in IT, and need 
information on some arcane subject, but aren't going to be working with it 
enough to justify buying a whole book on said subject.

Plus, they have a 15 or 30 day (I forget) free trial period.
