Hotmetal was sold out at CompUSA and
ComputerCity--except that there was one
last copy at CC that they didn't realize
they had, so I bot it. (I was sure to tell
the manager for that part of the store, and
the checkout person that they were out etc etc,
tho I suppose their inventory system does all
the work for them...
;-)

CompUSA is giving very good presentation
for Alpha's 747 add on, at least at my local
store, --right next to MS Flight Sim and on
every shelf from floor to top, and also by
itself taking up all the endspace on the end
of an aisle.

I have to start playing with html and
maybe xml at work, misc searches for the
best product, here on SI, zdnet and on
the web in general, sent me toward Hotmetal,
now I've got a copy, hope it is as good as
they say (not that a newbie to html would
know, I just want an easy wysiwyg product and
hotmetal was supposed to do that very well in
addition to all the other goodies).

fyi, hv 20,000 shares now, hope I have got
everything right: SWEBF trading near book value,
they own Alpha which makes several cool utilities
plus the sim add on, SoftQuad has on of the best
html development tools, plus is releasing much
anticipated Hotmetal Application Server, plus
powerpack is free for hotmetal users.

Please corrct me on anything I got wrong, I am
a reckless trader who has been making money too
easy this year, don't want to trip now (in at
around 3/4ths).

Regards,
Mike

Guess it was Voice Xpress they lost. Voice Commands was the last release they published before Microsoft investment in Lernout & Hauspie.
