- To All Interested:
-
- First off, I'll be glad to field any comments/complaints regarding
- the Compendium in private E-mail or on the roundtable on GEnie CAT 2,
- TOP 39. I don't think that talking about it here is appropriate
- unless it relates to the topic on hand.
-
- As for the index, I spent several days working on it but I'll be the
- first to admit it's not perfect. It is, however, one of the features
- that people _usually_ cite as a good feature.
-
- As for the $10 for the disk... The disk isn't quite ready yet
- (because of circumstances I'll mention below) and when it's ready I
- might just upload it for free (though I'm not promising). The $10
- covers the basic trouble of copying, labeling, marketing, and
- supporting the disk. Many other books come with their disks and are
- either more expensive to start or are made by huge companies. My
- margins are already barely profitable. European customers practically
- get their books for free from me because otherwise their price would
- be astronomical. When the disk is ready, I'll announce a policy and
- stick with it.

- Now for some other news...
- --------------------------
-
- A week and a half ago I was offered a job at Atari Corp. and
- subsequently accepted. My position will be in Jaguar Developer
- Support and as primarily a Technical Writer. I have nothing to do
- with TOS or the powers that be so please don't ask me to comment (I'm
- too new to stick my neck out :)
-
- This does _not_ affect SDS in any way except that our address and
- phone #'s will change shortly (I'm moving to Sunnyvale later this
- week). Our current addresses and phone # will be good for a month or
- two more. I am still, as usual, reachable by E-mail (though don't
- expect a response this week).
-
- Thanks.
