I read the first half of the book the first night but then my partner took
it and I haven't finished. I liked it. Good historical perspective and
current information. Oriented more towards wide area conferencing systems
but mentions the Xerox project, LENS, etc. and does a good look at a number
of software packages (including ours, TEAMate :-) and is accurate and fair.
Book costs $46.00 but is worthwhile to read and as a resource. After a year
or so will be out of date but still worth it.

>Book costs $46.00 but is worthwhile to read and as a resource. YOW!! The retail price was supposed to be $32.95! I don't know if the publisher can control distributor prices, but let me know who's retailing for $46, and I'll pass the word to the pub. anyway, we might as well see what's happening... Thanks for the plug. I worked hard on that book. It is not perfect by any means. It has its strengths and weaknesses, as any other thing might I imagine... As for table of contents, I would be glad to publish them here on the net if I get a vote for it. As it is, I was once chastized for once posting something as long (about 6k), though I've seen many longer postings than that... Anyway, one vote for a posting of the book's table of contents, and I'll send it here... Otherwise, I'll be glad to address issues raised, good points, and bad. I don't take criticism personally, much of it is certainly well deserved... Yours truely... the author matthew rapaport mjr@well.sf.ca.us
