Well, in fact many are. Two or three are being paid to do it, with money donated by Walnut Creek CDROM out of the CD-ROM sales (this is a good reason to buy your CD-ROMs from Walnut Creek, BTW). > 2) How do you answer the questions, Dr. Greg Lehey help me with many > questions, i did not have to spend any cents, this is one thing that > would never be true if i were using the Windows Never Try, isn't it? Not > only Dr. Greg, but many ones here helps, how can it be? I can only speak for myself. First, it helps me understand and fix the problems people have with the system, which in turn enables me to write better books (for which I do get money), and secondly it's good advertising for my professional services, which also cost money.
