Orin -

You're probably aware of this but the Readiness Review Suite that ships
with your 70-290 book is riddled with errors. I tried to notify MS
Press, they forwarded me the contact info for MeasureUp. I notified
MeasureUp and they said it was Microsoft's deal -- MeasureUp just
develops the test engine.

I'm only mentioning this to you cause I'm sure you could fire an e-mail
to somebody and let them know. The book & suite's been out for two
years now and it's about time someone got around to putting out a
downloadable patch that fixes the errors.

Oh, and wanted to mention that your 70-290 book was easily the best
study aid MS Press puts out.
