Hi there !!!

	Interesting little thing happend to me today.  Knock on the door
and a UPS man holding a box from Borland Intl.  No charge.  Turned out to
be the much-asked-about Charles Petzoid book, "Programming Windows."  I 
thought it was very nice of Borland to send it my way.  Even nicer was the
fact they didn't require the purchase of one of their Windows programming
languages before they sent the book.  Thats right, I never purchased BC++,
TPW,or Object Vision.  They just sent it.  Like an idiot I called them to 
find out what the scoop was.  Know what the told me ?  "our mistake, keep
it."  Nice of them to send a $30 book and pay $7 p&h for a free book w/purchase
of a product I have never seen !

Problem is, I got to reading the book, and now I want BC++ !!

Cheers!!
