- We are all really good at spending AT's money... ;-D
- Seriously - they just paid 13 mil (US) for C=. I wonder how deep their pockets

- that didn't make it on its own (not because of the product itself, mind you,
- but because of the lack of people willing too pay for it). If they did release
- it, I would hope they would do it from CD-ROM, with all of the documentation on
- there as well. This gives you:
- 1) Less pirate-ability
- 2) More documentation (let's face it - paper == money)
- 3) Less books to balance on your desk
- 4) the ability to easily cut and paste docuemntation examples to your code
- 5) cheaper to produce each copy
