It doesn't sound like you have tried living off of royalties before! Developers paid by the community to code software make far, FAR more than authors of technical books. It could take a year or longer to write a good book. Royalties or an advance might pay 2-4 months of expenses, maximum. Technical authors do not write for the money. :) Richard _______________________________________________ BSDCert mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert
