0. welcome,

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth and took a spin on our 
Wheel of Fortune at LinuxWorld earlier this month! Between the server fire 
on Tuesday and the snowfall on Wednesday, we're pretty sure this will 
go down as the LinuxWorld of extremes. Excitement and smiles were 
everywhere, and we enjoyed being a part of it. Here's hoping that LinuxWorld 
Boston 2007 will be just as fun.

*************************************

available for free download. What are you waiting for?

3. $10 Companion e-Books

We believe Apress books will prove so indispensable that you'll want to 
carry them with you everywhere, which is why we are offering a $10 
companion eBook to customers who purchase specially marked books.

Visit your favorite brick-and-mortar bookstore and look for Apress 
titles stamped with "Companion eBook Available" on the spine. Once you 
purchase your book, getting the $10 companion eBook is simple:

1. Visit www.apress.com/promo/tendollars/ 
2. Complete a basic registration form and receive a randomly generated 
question about the book 
3. Answer the question correctly in 60 seconds, and you will receive a 
promotional code to redeem for the $10 eBook version 

Convenient and fully searchable, companion eBooks make a valuable 
addition to your programming library. You can easily find, copy, and apply 
code-and then perform examples by quickly toggling between instructions 
and the application.

4. betaBooks

Apress wants to put our books on the newest technologies into your 
hands as quickly as possible. Purchasing a betaBook will give you the 
earliest possible access to a featured new book's chapters as they become 
available from the author. Upon the book's completion, you will receive a
