<SuzW> but still
<Aodhan> i dont know the other guy....but it is a work in progress....:)) he hasnt signed his manuscript yet...
<Aodhan> oh it is aimed at all levels of users...so the first 7 chapters should be really boring for you.
<SuzW> ha
<SuzW> how did you get involved with it?
<Aodhan> i did a project for the acquisitions guy on short notice...and it fell through.....and since i didnt complain about not getting paid...he felt he had to make it up to me...so he offered me this.
<SuzW> pays to be the nice guy that you are :)
<SuzW> haha
<SuzW> and of course extremely intelligent
<Aodhan> there is a possibility that they will be using my likeness in the book...:))
<Aodhan> and i am going to be listed in the library of congress as an author..:)
<SuzW> too cool!
<SuzW> I'll have to look you up on the internet
