The viewfoils were only a visual aid to go with my verbal explanations. I now regret not audio recording it, as there were also some great audience questions that added to it. The [paper] button is supposed to hold all the explanations, but it is incomplete since it was done a couple months prior. |

Posted in reply to Walter | If you make an E Book, it is going to be more or less free to a lot of people anyway.

A great many people are uncomfortable with reading from a computer screen. Take a look on at Bruce Eckel's books. They are freely available in html format, but as soon as they are published, millions run out to pick up a printed copy. I won't say never, but I don't see electronic books replacing the traditional ink&paper medium any time soon... Certainly not in my generation (at the end of which Walter will be long gone and making money will be someone else's problem).

Wonderful.
It would be also interesting to read the questions from the public and the answers.
