Thanks Andy!  I've now signed our group up for O'Reilly, Apress, and New
Riders.  Now I'm just waiting to hear back from them.

After I gave a summary of YAPC to my supervisor, he said that your "Get
Out of Technical Debt Now!" talk alone was almost worth the entire cost
of the conference.  I'd say that it's the talk that I took the most away
from.

Thanks!
Jeremy
