Shorter,
Thanks very much for your great praise ... I guess I can assume I'll be
getting a good review, eh? (And no, Lori's not a shill!)
Just wanted to provide one more bit of info to the list. If you go to http://www.topfloor.com/techwr/ you can find a TOC, sample chapters,
testimonials, etc, and also order on line.
Thanks again,
Peter
