This is the thing I still can't believe...it was either him or Helmar
(the other one totally agreed) that totally dissed DPI for offering the
CDROM, and their reasons were that they were missing their target
market, saying that the people most likely to use Ensemble didn't have
CDROM drives. If you agree with that, then how can you complain that you
only got 4 orders for a font CD ? Most people don't need extra fonts. I
rarely use the extra fonts that came on my CDROM. I've only had bad
experiances with non-Geoworks fonts anyway. I downloaded one of the
featured Christmas files AOL had, a Christmas font. I tried it in
FontMagick and it crashed the system.
CS>  2) He only posted in the newsgroup & on AOL, at best, as
CS>     far as I know.
He said he advertised in Fidonet also, and he did put an advertisement
on his web page, but then again his page required the newest browsers to
view, so most Ensemble users wouldn't be able to see it.
