My latest royalty e-mail

I just got a mail message from my agent. Here’s what it said:

Hi Paul,
A direct deposit request has just been sent to our bank for you. Your
money should be deposited into the account you have on file with Studio
B within 2 business days.
The amount of the deposit is: $1.11
The payment is for: Digital Think royalties Q1 2005 – Windows NT Server 4.0 in Enterprise

w00t! ‘Scuse me while I run down to the store and buy a candy bar.

    Well, DigitalThink screwed its authors (me included) by excluding courses that they resold from royalties. It wouldn’t have been worth it to sue, but it still sticks in my craw. Factoring that in, I might’ve made, oh, $10 or so.
