|    Smith Book received    |

      From: rlombardo3@gmail.com              The strangest thing occurred. Yesterday I received an unsolicited copy of       Warren Smith's Modern Optical Engineering 3rd edition in the mail. There       was no paperwork and neither my wife nor I ordered it.              It was a new book with the CD ROM in the back. The return address was       Sacramento, CA and when I looked it up on Google maps, it turned out to be a       condo -- not a book agent.              I am old enough to own the 1966 version as well as the 2nd edition of his       book. I guess it was a holiday gift from someone who shall remain       anonymous.              Has this happened to anyone else?               - Russ in Santa Barbara              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
