Indeed! If anyone finds a copy earlier they can let me know so I can get one :) I think that April is realistic. I do appreciate all of the excitment generated in this thread. Frank, J=E9r=F4me, and I hope our work justifies it. This semester is the second time students in my real-time embedded systems class have used the manuscript. The first group did a good job telling me where we needed to improve our explanations. Authors learn a lot from novices. The second group hasn't made any suggestions (yet) so maybe we got it right.
