Hi guys, Well, after two weeks barely time to catch breath (hospital busy. Ask El Zorno... i had to pass on dinner/restoration session invitations, something I usually would never do), I'm now off for a bit and doing bit of vacationing before hitting the DC Pen Show. Finally shipped the last two weeks' orders of pens. http://vacumaniablog.blogspot.com/ After being encouraged to re-open the Vac Blog (previously a briefly run and limited thing with no interactivity), I have done so. Blogger tools are helpful for those of us with remarkably limited HTML experience, though I managed to reverse engineer the templates a bit to give a more personal touch. http://vacumaniablog.blogspot.com/ The page is accessible from the Vacumania home page, though I have not yet placed the blog page link on every page of the website. Details can be found in the first thread, but key point is that this is not any sort of real-time discussion board. Rather, goals are to flesh out backchannel questions I receive, to post occasional items of interest to me, and to keep latest info about the website easily accessible. I leave the major discussion to the newsgroups and discussion groups. Thanks for peeking regards David
