Yes. I have spent 3 hours on the book. 
(lots of things in my life comes so late, also for the book, I'm happy reading it) 

Here I asked about the extension, why use .alias, 
In the book, it's said related to X stuff. That's why I'm confused here. Actually I was hesitated to ask, but still want to ask. It's not something big, but the answers will certainly enrich my understanding about other things.  

Thanks for understanding.  

Best regards,
