Black Adder and PyQt

I have just ordered both Black Adder, Personal edition plus one year
of updates, as well as your new book, GUI Programming with Qt: Python
edition.

I want to thank all of you who responded to my initial enquiry: you
have helped to make my decision (along with some helpful comments from
the programming forum at www.arstechnica.com where a couple of people
were very enthusiastic about Black Adder). I also mentioned your book
there and posted the link you gave to Opendocs where I ordered it.

I almost feel guilty for not supporting PythonWare also, but my
reasons are:

1. I want to use my gui programs primarily on Linux (KDE) and also,
eventually, the Sharp Zaurus which uses the Qt toolkit.

2. The new GUI programming book using PyQt will be very helpful to me,
it includes chapters specifically on Black Adder.

3. I feel it is time for me to get off the fence and support Black
Adder, which appears to be what I am looking for.

This will not be a quick learn for me, but I am in it for the long
term now.

Thanks to all who offered opinions, and I look forward to reading the
book as soon as I get home from Asia! ;-)))
