Funny you mentioned this because my book arrived in Canada after 4 days.
Books purchased from Amazon dot com usually take 2 weeks.

Yesterday (2006.04.13), I received an email from the author telling me he
has not yet received any book orders from HP, but time still remains for
this to happen. People not able to attend the boot camp should order the
book now. The author also told me he is considering another book project on
"how to use FMS forms using Java" but he will only do this if he sells at
least 1000 copies of his current book. IMHO if we want to support OpenVMS we
should support this author. His programming tutorials are an on-ramp to this
platform.

    #####

I originally ordered this book with the intention of reading the "MySQL" and
"RDB" chapters then was going to send the book to a junior OpenVMS
programmer in a remote office. I now have decided to keep the book as an
office reference and have instructed the developers in a remote location to
purchase their own copies on the company dime.
