Looking at the nature of your book, and there are so many things that
could not make it to your book, I think it is great.

I am new to Delphi.Net, and even though your book help me learning it,
I can use more learning materials. I like the video ideas a lot.
Videos like BDNTV and MSDNTV are great.
Personally, I think it is a good deal.

If you want to make profit, I think you do. As long as when you are
protecting your investment you are not punishing honest customer, I am
fine.

Only if you train somebody else.

I read your other-post, but I don't want to get off-topic. As a
Christian myself, I see that everything that God has created is good,
including sleep. As other things, it can be abused of course.
btw, I do know people who cannot sleep, and they want to sleep. :)
