Don't pay no attention to all this, David. Its the Ronn's new C book
that took all places from 418,000 to 35,000. Once they sell all copies
thay have to those C and Java gurus, your rating will be back.

Cheers,
Pavel

P.S. Amazon is just screwed up for the holidays. They offered me free
shipping three times but all three times they forgot to include the
promised coupon code for that.

David - I think I have the explanation - you are the
35,000th most popular author specializing in IDL, and
the 419,801th most popular author overall.
(Still waiting for my copy from Amazon, where I will
have a chance to cast my own vote on the matter -
no chad jokes, please!)
