Actually, I have been involved in setting up our Web server
(amusingly called "Club Web," which we then promptly had
service-marked). I have converted lots of stuff I wrote to that
dratted HTML format (manually, by the way) including press releases,
product brochures, company backgrounder and newsletters. In addition,
we have sections set up for FAQs (frequently asked questions), order
forms that can be downloaded to order demos and products, and other
info.

Our "home page" is still being designed. The most difficult part I
had was converting some pretty intense graphics done on the Mac into
GIF format.

If you have any questions, or want to check us out, please email me
directly.

Happy holidays, all!
