At BookStop (a regional (?) discount bookstore in Austin), I paid somewhere around $40.00-$50.00 for a softbound copy of _The Matrix_. Maybe Digital Press is binding the version you saw in one of those gray VMS V5-style binders (part # xxx-0123-yyy :-) :-) And by the way, if you're doing networking and want to get a comprehensive view of the *big* (i.e. world-wide) picture, _The Matrix_ is indeed a book worth having. -- Mic Kaczmarczik mic@emx.utexas.edu (Internet) Unix/VMS/Cyber Services mic@utaivc (BITNET) UT Austin Computation Center ...!cs.utexas.edu!ut-emx!mic (UUCP) COM 1 / UT Austin / Austin, TX 78712 ``Good tea.

By the way, did you know that BookStop is now owned by B. Dalton?
Yup, just as you thought you could go to a big and nice bookstore
in the U.S. that was not run by Walden Books or B. Dalton .........
