Figure S-86: The rich hunting ground
Moving forward, our short-term strategy is to optimize a robust sell-through and propagate tight linkage while leveraging our broad strength in this arena. In doing so, we will achieve synergy with our strategic partners and blaze a trail toward a bigger revenue pie..d tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diaqm nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

Equals Operator
By popular request, the equals sign now works as an assignment operator that can be used in place of the "set X to Y" syntax.
The = operator is often a more convenient form of notation to use when assigning values to containers and is especially useful in writing mathematical equations and formulas...
"Notify" handlers allow objects to receive notification of messages sent to the page level (enterPage, idle, etc.). This makes it much easier to write self-contained "widget" objects that can be pasted into a book and used without modification.
