   Maybe.

   Thing is, I do need the technology.  I want to make more videos.  I'm 
cleaning the soap out of the playroom and it doubles as my video 
studio.   I am planning to bring Brian along on my European tour to be a 
grounding influence and my cameraman. I will have to get a good mic too, 
sometime before May15.

   In other news, I took a whack at the K-Goddess board last week. Deleted 
empty or mostly empty boards, consolidated a few others, like the personal 
ads... then sent a "We miss you please come back" notice to all members... 
which had zero effect and I wonder if I was the only one who got it!
   I also closed down the Mystress_Serpent at yahoo list with a last post. Did 
you get either of those emails?  That reminds me, I have to tweak the 
settings of the replacement list on domin8rex.com

   I got stuck on the K ebook because I felt something is missing... I 
realize what is missing is more about K itself, for people who want to give 
the book to recently awakened, confused friends... some symptoms, more 
about the process, etc.  I have renamed it: Kundalini awakening: essential 
practices.

   I got a used but legal, registerable copy of Macromedia suite MX (2004) 
on ebay last week. It will arrive this week, with transfer papers. 
Dreamweaver, flash, the whole meal deal.

    I know you and others have offered to do flash animations for me, but I 
don't even know enough about how they work, to get the art prepared... and 
Goddess put an idea in my head about doing live workshops in the modern 
way, with additional clarity from powerpoint presentation.

   I'm on some internet marketing info lists... mostly they are for ebooks 
and affiliate sites, but much of it is applicable to promoting an online 
school.

   I'm still shopping for an affordable, legal version of Adobe Creative 
suite 2.  The legal, non academic versions are selling on ebay for >$500. 
usd and some have gone over $900. Right now I am looking at an older 
version... but I want Acrobat pro 7 because theoretically it has improved 
file integration.
   It is selling for >$250. by itself, so I might as well get everything 
even though I don't need all the bits.

   I have photoshop 5 now, that is pretty old. Some parts of it, like the 
ability to make transparent gifs, stopped working altogether when I got 
XP... and the jpg compression algorithm sucks hairy moose cock.  I save 
them full size and import them into my only slightly newer version of 
Paintshop pro to compress them.  Sachiko has demonstrated to me how lame 
that turns out!

   Actually, I have a whack of Adobe stuff that came along with my digital 
camera or photoshop upgrades... but some of it, like pagemaker, I have 
never found useful.

   A student recently asked about printing the lesson pages. They are not 
very print-friendly as html, and it might be useful to provide a link to 
print friendly PDF versions of each lesson.  Thus, my interest in Acrobat 7 
pro...

    Feedback welcomed.
