Marc Canter must have a news reader running real-time, because he just replied:
Fine – I'll trade yah some MSDN manuals, PDC bookbags and some old Flight Simulator disks for some juicy broiled prawns and a cup of hot apple cidar.
I really need more PDC bookbags for my collection, so this sounds like a great compromise. By the way, Marc is a guru and if anyone should get fees it is him.
