Thanks for responding to this thread in an open forum. I agree with you that, given the book is already late, and still doesn't have some of the chapters lined up, it would be risky business to continue. Such books have a definite shelf life -- past which they're so much scrap paper. Why was it more difficult this time around (for OS/2 Warp Unleashed) to line up authors for the chapters, than the previous times, when you were able to hit the shelves just a few months after the software released? -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
