I would say that you should talk to Veijo and hezekiah, and offer your
assitance if they need it.  LLG would certainly support any promotional
activities, but I can't do it myself because of overcommitment; neither
can Cowan.  The latter is why there is no advertising or promotion.

We could put in a link to Amazon.com, but since we cannot take credit
cards over the net, an online order form direct to us won't work.
Someday I will nmeed to find a credit card firm that will accept the net
stuff, and maybe find out fhow to setupo the secure links needed to have people
trust it.  But again this takes time I don't have - it took me almost 6 months
to get credit cards set up the first time, so changing providers is not 
something I look forward to.

I approve.
