Hi Hector,

yeah, the loss of circulation can lead to thrombosis. <s>

>>>>I used the Hackers guide when I went to clients. It was the best reference in one volume. Taking chapter four out of the printed book makes it worthless to me. To add to my indignation is the bait and switch aspect of preordering only to find out later that the publisher has done me a great service by removing the most useful part of the book. Why didn't they print chapter four and put the remainder on chm for download.

>>>We thought long and hard about what to do. The length of HackFox was a major problem for a number of reasons.

>>>Based on what we heard from readers, most people use the CHM all the time and rarely, if ever, refer to the printed volume. (It's certainly true for all of us.) So we made the decision to put the part that people were most likely to want to read sequentially on paper.
>>>
>>>As for "bait and switch," the HackFox 7 page on Hentzenwerke says clearly in 2 different places that Section 4 is only in the CHM.
>>>
>>>Finally, if your problem is that you don't normally take a laptop to clients, so can't just put the CHM there, I suggest that you burn a CD with the CHM on it and take that with you.
>>>
>>>Regardless, I'm sorry you're disappointed. We tried to find the solution that would serve our customers best. I regret that it doesn't work for you.

>>>Tamar
