Never been asked that before! A software manual, but I don't consider that a book, so no, I am afraid I haven't, Jeff. Why do you ask? I do write things every now and then, mostly intended for specific people in my life. I don't really consider myself a writer. An expressionist, perhaps, but then I think, to some extent, we all are.

Why do you ask? Well, because your literary skills are pretty up there. >I do write things every now and then, mostly intended for specific people in >my life.

I always take care to mention when people start rambling on and on about this artist and that artist that for every Basia Trzetrzelewska, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, and Joe Satriani in this world, there are ten others who can compose and perform music just as wonderful, but they just enjoy it in the privacy of their home rather than share it with the world. Nothing wrong with that of course. - the real tragedy is when you have have incredibly skilled artists who are trying to make a living at art while being overlooked in light of more popular (but less talented) artists...
