<\/p>\nThanks for all of the advice on viruses and alternative computer systems. I took your advice on the viruses and dodged your good advice on computers.<\/p>\n
I bought a HP Athlon 3300+ at my nearest Staples, and my sick computers are in the hands of a local repair shop named Gravity’s Edge. If all goes well, I should have four working computers by next weekend. Meanwhile, life goes on.<\/p>\n
You and your friends have been spreading the word about my book in ways I never expected. My email has doubled and I am getting help and encouragement from people who know me only through your comments. For the first time, I am getting an appreciation of what power lies in developing friends of friends.<\/p>\n
You and your friends have downloaded 1462 copies of Danger Quicksand through bentcrowpress.com since the beginning of February.. <\/p>\n
If that weren’t enough, I received great encouragement from ChangeThis, the non-profit group set up by Seth Godin and friends to promote the spread of new ideas.<\/p>\n
They have included my book in their collection of thoughtful arguments about important issues. I owe many, many thanks to Avi Solomon, who recommended my book to them.<\/p>\n
I am deeply honored to be included in the august company of Tom Peters, Seth Godin, Debbie Weil, Guy Kawasaki, and Hugh Macleod. They all have manifestos being published by ChangeThis.<\/p>\n

Amit Gupta at changethis.com prepared an elegant version<\/a> of Danger Quicksand – Have A Nice Day as a free download<\/a> from their site. He did a fantastic job designing the page layouts and he created this colorful icon for the document. I wish I had his skills. It would have made my work a lot easier and more attractive.<\/p>\n With two outlets for downloading copies of the book, I am feeling the pressure to get everything into the hands of a printer ASAP. Fortunately, I have several to choose from who do good work and are competitively priced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thanks for all of the advice on viruses and alternative computer systems.
