Anyone else picking up the 1210AM 50,000 Watts on their Comcast Digital Voice service in Cinnaminson, NJ?
The 1210AM Transmission Tower is about 1/2 mile from my house---in fact, I can it right outside my window as I post this.
Contact me and I'll let you know what Comcast's solution was to my problem.

Fan Mail---February 13, 2004
Just got some fan mail---it's a nice honest appraisal of my book, including the part about being a bit redundant and being a tome :)
Hello John!
I wanted to write a note and tell you that I really enjoyed your books, "Learn to Program with Visual Basic 6" and "Visual Basic Databases".
They were extremely helpful in learning the basic concepts from a total beginner's point of view.
Between those tomes and some help from the on-line forums I was able to not only learn but re-write a small DB program here at work in a total time of about 14 weeks.
I have at least 3 other VB books here in the office, but they weren't as helpful in covering the basics.
Your writing style can seem a tad redundant at times, but that's absolutely perfect for the beginner.
Whatever it is, it works and I hope you continue to write the way you do. I am going to pick up another book of yours here shortly (C++) and I'm confident that with your approach I should have it down in no time.
Sincerely,
Jason

My Java book to appear on the Sopranos!
I received word from my publisher that my Java book will be used in the context of the plot of HBO's Sopranos.
If you're familiar with the characters in the show, Svetlana, who will be taking care of Uncle Junior this year, will be using my book to teach herself Java and set up some kind of Web based business.
I'll let you know when I have a firm air date
