Unpublished in Europe
Once upon a time=20
there was a programmer in Germany,
who used Icon=20
for everyday work.
He heard about graphics=20
and about a book to come.
He waponed himself=20
with patience,
because writing a book
was a hard and a time=20
consuming work.
January of '98
he ordered the book.
A couple of month later
the author sent a mail
that the book was published.
And the retailer for Europe
sent a mail to the bookstore
'We are sorry the book is sold out'.
And the programmer sang:
(apologies to the Beatles)
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
Write in C
And hoped
that this was not the end of the story.
Angrily=20
from Germany, Otfried
