Another day, another $0.03

My inbox just went "ping" with my annual royalty statement from Springer Publishing, and I'm left wondering who it was that in the past 12 months has ordered a print-on-demand copy of a technical book published 15 years ago, covering an operating system that's 22 versions old, written in a language that's been deprecated for 12 years.

Whoever it was, I hope you found what you were looking for, and thank you - I'm now $0.03 closer to earning back the advance...
