I didn't say I'd never buy another SAMS book, Floyd. But it's a factor
in the equation. All things being equal, SAMS titles will be considered
with a grain of salt for a little while when I go book shopping.
I'll probably be over it in a few weeks, tho, since I'm not that good
at holding grudges <grin>. Nevertheless, right now I'm a little miffed
at the way SAMS apparently handled this situation.
