Damn, I'm so sorry to hear that.
You should think about making this into an ebook. Traditional books are great (I'm in the
publishing business, so I like books, paper, print) but an ebook might be a better fit for
this project. They can be edited easily, so they can be updated as the technology changes
and it changes pretty fast. This would also mean there would still be a source of income
which you all deserve. If you've got three quarters of the book written already it would not
be that hard to convert it to an ebook. Check out what the TidBits people are doing with
ebooks. I'm not sure, but I think an ebook could have hyperlinks and screencasts too.
