What, and lose one of the best running gags that I've seen on
the network in a long time? :-) :-)

On this forthcomming book, I'm sure I am not the only one who realy needs
this book to "indoctrinate" some fellow programmers, BADLY!, and who does
not want to wait for a general release to the local book stores.
Please forget for a moment the Comercialization of the Net, and any related
flame, I realy don't give a darn.
This is also not a price sensitive issue.
Is someone (Randal are you listening) makeing a list. Is there a place to
send money to guarantee earliest possible delivery.
When the first 1000 or so copies are printed I would like 3.

(I could say that I'll trade the first three copies *I* get for Paula Abdul's home number, but that'd be unfair to those of you that don't live in LA. :-) I'm pretty sure that the publisher will have them available for mail-order simultaneously with release to the stores. Wait for the announcement... please! (I've been dinged already for sounding commercial here... let me assure you that this book is a non-profit venture on my part, unless perchance *every* one of you buys three copies for Christmas presents this year.) 'nuff said. Wait. It's around the corner. -- /=Randal L.

I'm sure that the folks at the other end of the 800 number in my .sig
would be glad to take your order. The book is scheduled for
availability in mid-January. Usenix goers take note: if you buy it at
Usenix, you get a free T-shirt too.

Wait for the What about mailorder from overseas (Europe,Asia). I'd like to have The Book also very soon, but will it be published outside the States also very soon (by experience: No), and if not, where can I order it for mail-delivery to Singapore. Or rather: Who can state the terms for such a delivery (cost of shipping etc. I'd like to know beforehand...)
