Welcome Anthony!
I have read about you and your book, and I like to be selected by chance I have to do a project for a company, and your book would serve me much help, save me time looking for solutions in the network.
A question I ask you, if you have taken a long time and headaches, writing this book?
A greeting and good luck with the book, and all followers of this forum just to say that cane to keep giving these keyboards.

Will mr Williams still be active in answering questions today?
Or is it just the announcement of the winner that is postponed.

The delay is just so to not interfere with the upgrade -- which for the looks of it, was a delay of only six hours.
Congrats to all the winners
