Thanks! I will probably give into popular demand, as it were, and start posting addenda to the Tough Guide here. (Look for one in a day or two!)

I really found your Tough Guide extremely entertaining (and accurate).

Good work.

I'll certainly pick up some of those topics here!

The old pages had quite a few links, which alas will evaporate tomorrow. I had no way of putting up a 'This site is moving' message, because a Microsoft update wiped out the software I used to upload things to my Compuserve site. (And it wasn't worth finding and wrestling with new uploading software for a site about to vanish anyway!)

So people will just have to find their way to my new pages. :-)

I don't have specific plans to update the Tough Guide (which is quite a different thing from 'no'). But come to think of it, mini essays like those would be good to intersperse with the longer pieces I do here. (Classify under D'oh!)

Nine years have indeed passed, and right off I can think of a few things I didn't cover, such as elevators/beanstalks, nanotech, and the Singularity. Sort of odd, since they were all already 'big' when I wrote the original. Go figure!

I love the Tough Guide, its funny and pithy, and I am glad you're preserving it.

Also, I was wondering if you were going to update the Guide, adding or amending the Guide with current trends in SF. Its been 9 years since it was written, and there are bound to be a few new things here and there.

I'll have to take the time to brouse the site in detail...it seems pretty interesting.
