[Computer-go] Special Offer: Towards perfect play of Scrabble

[Jim O'Flaherty, Jr.]

Don,

How did you order? I just clicked on the paper and was sent through a maze of 
crappy PayPal screens. The description and payment amounts were blank. And when 
I tried to fill them out, it wants to charge me US $20.00. I am not sure what I 
am doing wrong.


Jim
