Hi,

Since Bruce Eckel has become a kind of beginners guru,I mean many
thousands of Java
programmers have learned Java with him(for free).

Now he decided not to give his job for free anymore,Its fair nobody
works for nothing.

But it seems He doensn´t whant to become a millioner(since for ten
years he didn´t charge
anything for his book).

Why IBM,SUN or any bigger Java player does not sponsor him in his
fourth edition?

I myself usually buy a lot of books,but many people choose a language
while they´re
at university,and any free lunch is wellcome.
