No more a mystery - Larry is almost done on his Mac II book and it will
probably ship in the fall.  It won't be H.W. Sams, though, they dropped
Larry just before Mac Repair & Upgrade came out (they didn't think it
would sell!), so the new book is from Brady Books.

He's also got another in the planning stages - a diagnostic, look up the
problem, find the solution book of technical tips and information
gathered over the last three years.

The latter will be either a book or (I've suggested this to him) a series
of technical newsletters available by subscription.  This would get the
information in the hands of the users faster.  If you'd like this sort
of thing, let me know and I'll tell Larry there's interest in it.
