LL>Yes, this title is now available.  But, here's what it has to say on 
LL>ObjectPAL:
LL>   "This is only for the dedicated techno-weenie-wannabe's out there.
LL>   ObjectPAL is Paradox's programming language.  If you hear someone
LL>   call it a macro language, they're mistaken.  ObjectPAL is an honest-
LL>   to-goodness programming language, with all the complexity and
LL>   bizarre nuances that accompany such power.
 
LL>   If I accidentally piqued your curiosity (really, I didn't mean to),
LL>   look in the Guide to ObjectPAL for the mind-numbing details."
Geez, as I said previously, I had noted that the book existed, without 
actually picking it up. Had I done so, I may have been tempted to seriously 
flame the author with trash like your quote above.
I'm normally pretty thick-skinned about impuning commentary, but 
"Techno-Weenie-Wannabe's" is going WAY over the top, from my perch behind 
the keyboard!!!
