Then again, who really cares about studying yellow cars? :-)

The revision will be even less desirable to somebody wanting to use
the book as a college text.  There will still be "thin" discussions
of Big-O analysis and algorithm-theory.  There are many good texts on
those things out there, and they will certainly be referenced.  The
focus of the book will be aimed at practitioners.  It will also be a
little smaller :-)
