That news is keeping me from ordering a copy over the ‘Net, although I have a B&N card from XMas I need to empty.

i saw scads of deathly hallows, hard cover, in tarzhay this evening when i was picking up cat food. i was sorely tempted to break down and buy a copy, but i was afraid they might be those with missing pages. for good or ill, you saved me $17.95+tax. for now.

Well, that’s a fact. There’s a report that some of the books are missing a block of pages in the middle – around page 400. That would be a major bummer, like finding the lobster didn’t die.

Tsk, Tsk. Ms Rowling doesn’t approve of people who eat dessert before the meal is on the table.

i’ve been given the website info, but i still prefer to read books as books [while soaking up rays at the beach if possible], so i’ll be waiting. i also want to re-read the series first, which means finding a copy of the book[s?] i’m missing.

and like anya, i’ll read the last page[s] first, then enjoy the journey.

Now, what was the address to that site? I haven’t bought a copy of the book, yet, and I need to read:) Kidding.

I guess it’s hard to find a way to be anonymous. Best not to do anything that might come back on one.

You mean the wonderful new version control and collaboration feature, Fallenmonk, with its complete history of the document. Boy, I know a lot of people were clamoring for that along with the dozens of extra fonts no one uses. It pretty much paints a diagram of your hard disk in the meta data for most of the files.

Oh, yeah, Steve, the secret serial number that your printer puts on every page, I’d almost forgotten about that one. Hewlett-Packard and the Designated Hitter? Oh, yeah.

And they won’t give you up like a used Kleenex, right? I know what you mean, Hipparchia. I have software that was purchased by clients for my use on their projects. It is a multi-user license, and that gets confusing.
