What I didn't say is that I've started teaching iText,
and while doing so, I have plenty of new ideas for writing
an even better book (some of the examples in the book are
too academic), but you are right: writing a book takes
a lot of time.

By the way: I'm currently adding some new functionality to iText,
but once I'm done with my TODO list, I'll be looking towards the
GIS market. More specifically: I've been contacted by Dirk Frigne
(geGIS / MAJAS) to solve the "plot/print" problem in the GIS world.

That's why I was lurking on this list. To be continued...
