Is it going to happen or not?
Win., I promise to buy one!
The 2nd edition was out 1989. 1st, 1980.
When my wife had our second kid (born with her on all fours in a
bathroom, with only me at her side), I remember her saying, "It's a
good thing I couldn't remember what it was like having our 1st kid!"
Now that I clearly remember, again, it's something I'd never want to
do again. Okay. So we had three. But I got 'fixed' then.
I can only imagine the work involved in the first two as being enough
for any two people in their lifetimes. I can easily imagine Win
telling himself, "Not again!"
The other author, Paul, is involved with SETI (one project recently
needing some last minute finances, it appears) and may have also
thought the same thing:

It will all happen when it happens.
