Dafydd reminded me of a very good point: what format is this free Starman Appendix e-text available in? Well, I prepared it as a Microsoft Word document...
... Hate to tell you, but that's NOT the only information required. There are SEVERAL versions of Word -- I have Word 97, for example -- and they are NOT all...
I have enjoyed poring through the Starman Appendix: Volume One. I especially appreciate the exchanges by the team members about 'getting the science right'....
If you don't own Microsoft Word and want to be able to read and write Word documents, you can download a copy of Open Office (www.openoffice.org) which is a...
... It wasn't "sharp", it was bitter experience! I once sent a Word file to a friend, only to be told he couldn't read it because it wasn't in "his" version......
... I hadn't thought of that, but you're right! Now you can get a glimpse at Mike Dodd's role, which is sometimes hard to define but yet is very important to...
There are versions for Linux, Windows, Mac OS-X, and Solaris. Open Office and Star Office are related but different. Star Office is written such that when you...
Within the last half hour I have begun getting emails containing the Klez virus and which *claim* to come from people including jtowey and David Baumann, using...
... Nope, twern't me, Valerie, but thanks for the great advice on updates! By the way, Richard and Marge Avery (aka Richard and Marjie Prester) were up in...
Yes. That was very frustrating. I'm sorry I wasn't in at the time. Seems like I practically live here but no matter how much time I spend here I always miss...

Dafydd has brought to my attention the fact that in the Starman Appendix I use a number of non-standard fonts. The Appendix looks great on my system, but on...
Just wanted to let everyone know that the fourth issue of The Starman Chronicles is in the mail! David Baumann mailed them last night, so those of you who...

I am impressed with the price for the electronic version. What drives me nuts, being a huge proponent of electronic book formats is the publishers who charge...
... The interesting thing is that the royalties we get for the e-text are about the same as we get for the hardback and paperback formats. The hardback and ...
I've a question about the drawing on page 67 of the e-text DH. Is that the correct image?--- A black rectangle to represent that "...a swift fight exploded in...
... Our publisher asked us the same question and yes, that is the right image. What would a photo of a fight in pitch darkness look like? It would look...
I thought that the black illustration may have been a homage to a picture in another classic boy's series book. But even if it's not, it is certainly a finely...
Speaking of questions, did you see that I had a few questions in my last post? Wasn't sure if you saw them or not, since I haven't seen any answers as yet. As...
