	Not a problem. It's your work and what you say goes. Oddly enough, with 
the novel... We are now set up to publish "e-books" in PDF and put them 
onto CDs. We just don't have the method for people to order them up yet. 
When you ARE ready, give us a look. We will give you a better deal than 
traditional book publishers (this isn't saying much).

	Do you mean your page on Syndicom, the last message, or anything I can 
find in the newsgroups (from Googol)?

	Excellent. If you don't want to write it in a "textbook" style then you 
can write it as if you were writing a book in the "for Dummies" series. 
The choice of style is yours. Although I kind of think a "Sci-Fi" or 
"Fantasy" style would be inappropriate for the topic under discussion. ;-)

	I'll take a gander at it in a couple of days. The publishing deadline for 
the January issue is coming up fast and my business partner has not 
delivered her half of the articles (yet again) this month.

	Good! It's the people who don't have the knowledge already who would be 
interested. If they already have the knowledge they would not be part of 
your target audience. Still, their knowledge would be good for 
correcting volcabulary and tweaks.

	I'm running Linux for the most part, but I have my GS automated to create 
one of the articles. I'm currently using floppies to transfer the file. 
I'd like to be able to connect EVERYTHING and make a direct transfer.
