<Availability of (and demand for) third-party books has always been excellent for Borland, so this is a little disturbing. I know that the books are out there, but they were in the CompUSA that I went to. > They're moving well at our Border's, I happen to keep an eye on such things. They also tend to build stock on fast-selling books better than other booksellers. Dave

I am in your neck of the woods (College Station) and the same goes in Houston. Check Taylor's for Borland books and the MicroCenter in Richardson. The biggest advantage to JAVA to me will be in nontraditional devices that Microsoft hasn't had any direct contact in yet (like cell phones, etc). I think JAVA could even be a very big player in Windows CE if a good JAVA VM is written (then one could program in any flavor of JAVA). Shane

I noted the same thing at the Augusta Ga store and complained to the manager. They had a good supply of software but no books (almost all books were for microsoft stuff). Could Microsoft somehow be involved in this situation with special payouts to companies that stock only books on their software.
