I just ordered Dave's book last night, so I can't comment about its
content ... but if the book arrives with ALL BLANK PAGES I'll still
feel that I got the best of the deal ... been using NQC for over a
year and it hasn't cost me a cent! If Mark Overmars publishes a
book, I'll also buy it with no expectations other than repaying a
small part of my debt. If life (and big business) were fair, LEGO
would send checks in the six figure range to both Dave and Mark.
