Wishlists come true. Thanks Adobe!

Does anyone remember my posting a while ago about Adobe purchasing Flex books from Amazon Wishlists? I remember quite a few people doubting it was true. When I originally heard the news, I immediately set up a wishlist and added every Flex resource I didn't already have.
After my nice long vacation in the Florida Keys, I came home to a nice surprise! A package from Amazon containing the Lynda videos for Flex!
So, yes it is true. Adobe isn't just going Mad Hatter, of course. I imagine they have a budget and they dole out some books from time to time. I am very happy to be the recipient.
Turns out I already have the Lynda Videos. I was slow in removing them from the wishlist. The only proper thing for me to do was give them to some other deserving soul. Sean has agreed to host a 1,000,000 hits contest for the Videos. You can find details of the contest at Sean's blog.
A big thank you to Mike Potter and the Flex.org team for their continued community support.

Very cool - kudos to Adobe! And nice touch giving the videos for Seans 1,000,000 visit contest!
You shouldn't go home empty handed. Email me your shipping address and we'll get some other things out to you.

Now for the really important question. Has the budget run out, or are they still doing this thing? ;^)
Its an on going thing... We do it every once in a while. (It helps if you blog about it and we notice your blog post calling on us to look at your wishlist).
Mike
Hmmm. So what would you have to blog to get one of those snazzy posters from 360 Flex? Never did figure out how to get my hands on one of those . . . :->
Email me your address and I'll ship you a set.

IT IS TRUE! I didn't believe it either but I went ahead and made an Amazon Wishlist anyway. And then, Flex 2 Beyond the Basics (CD-ROM)
by David Gassner (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1596712848/) showed up about 5-6 weeks later! That's $100 DVD-ROM for someone they have never ever met! Thanks Adobe and especially Mike Potter! This is a HUGE deal and if I wasn't before, I am totally an Adobe powered drone!
