3. Graphic Workshop Registration Key Issue Fixed
_______________________________________________________________________
It has come to our attention that a few users of Graphic Workshop
Professional 7 have experienced unexpected registration key issues,
causing the software to revert to an evaluation copy for no apparent
reason.
If you're running Graphic Workshop Professional 7 revision 4 and you've
been beset with this issue, we have a work-around that should send the
beast back to the infernal depths of the netherworld for all time.
Please contact us at
http://www.mindworkshop.com/software-support.html
being sure to complete the field for your registration key, as we'll
need this to get everything working for you.
We'll get back to you with instructions for implementing the solution.
Thanks to everyone who's been patient with this latest twist of
Windows.

5. LizardLand Is Now In Print!!!
(And now at Amazon Canada too... Second Notification)
_______________________________________________________________________
Steven William Rimmer's biting satire LizardLand is now available in
paperback, through the thaumaturgy of Amazon's print-on-demand books.
Should you not have encountered this technology previously, print-on-
demand does pretty much what it says on the box. When you order a copy
of LizardLand through Amazon, a digital press prints one book, just
for you.
Remarkably, the production quality of print-on-demand books is if
anything better than that of commercial mass-market fiction. In
addition, your book will have been manufactured a few days before you
receive it, rather than having been stored for months in a warehouse in
Duluth.
The production costs of print-on-demand books being relatively low,
we've been able to use really nice paper, large trade-size pages and
big, readable type.
Because these books are sold trough Amazon, you can enjoy free shipping
with a Prime account, or if you buy enough other stuff to reach their
free shipping threshold.
Finally, print-on-demand means pretty much zero waste. Every copy of
LizardLand that gets printed will actually be sold. By comparison,
traditional publishing could see three quarters of the books that were
manufactured ultimately being "remaindered" and destroyed.
Please see:
http://www.stevenwilliamrimmer.com/lizardland.html
to enjoy LizardLand in print. Wise-assed dinosaurs and their profane
lawyer await you.
