"Horowitz, Hill - art of electronics" shall be released in march 2004.
This means, next month. Does anybody know something about this?

Oooooooooooh, that seems to be the author himself. :-O .
Never thought to see him here.
This should be the most authoritative disclosure, I ever could get
elsewhere. :-)

And there's a Bob Dylan song about a man in prison, "I shall be
released."

I searched for "art of electronics" at snopes.com and I get:

Are the NEA, NPR, PBS, and Sesame Street in danger of extinction due
to government cutbacks?

Can CD sound quality be improved with green marking pens?

Did a hip-hop group release an album depicting an exploding World
Trade Center on the cover?

None of which have any info on any alleged release date of a book.

A search on urbanlegends.com gives the same "Internal Server Error"
error that it's been giving for months. But wait, there's this:

http://urbanlegends.com/people/dredged.html

No, it's not Janet Jackson's you-know-what, it's an expose' on
those urban legends sites. Looks like News2020 might be right.

Maybe I should get off this Usenet thing (it's nothing but
unsubstantiated urban legends anyway) and go through that 2nd Edition,
looking for (more) duplicated circuits. And if I'm not careful, I
might learn something...

uh, why is the expose posted on the very site they claim they're
trying to expose?

Yes; it's a proof that you shouldn't believe anything you read on Usenet
without confirmation.

Alternatively, maybe that's 2004 on the Muslim calendar. (;-)

Sure, I can confirm it. I just received a brandy-new copy of the 2nd
edition from Amazon last Thursday. Based on past experience, three days
later is about when I would expect to hear that publication of the 3rd
edition is imminent. 'Course, I could be wrong...

Just in case you are right, could you send Winfried a copy? Might save
him a lot of writing!
