RE: Serious Question (believe it or not)...

On Thu, 7 Jun 2001,Hillman, Alex scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon:

->I am not talking about getting rich. $100/hr is not near rich in my opinion.
->What I am talking about is to get as much money as possible for one's work.
->Now, I do not know how many copies of your book DBA 101 were sold (by the
->way in my opinion very good book - regretfully it was published a little
->late for me).

i don't know, my copy [well highlighted and scribbled in] is next to me while i work and i still learn things from it. bought a copy for my Jr. DBA to train from too. seems to have worked well for that too. and i have been at this DBA stuff for a few years now.

as for writing a book, no way i'd try to make money from it. if i ever take part in that activity, i'll want to write it the way i see it and not worry about making money.
