WARNING : Blatant Semi-commercial announcment follows :
Wow! I would've never thunk it, but last Friday, Galil. . . er,
Distant Suns 3.0 shipped! It should be in the stores in a couple of
weeks. For those of you who can't wait, give Lance (my publisher) a call at
Virtual Reality, (805) 545-8515, and you can probably order one directly
(ask about the "earthquake special", and tell him where you read this
message, he might give you a discount).
The long-awaited Image expansion disk is finally done, with 215 pictures
of galaxies, star clusters and nebula on it. Also a new stellar database
is now available with 20,000 stars vs. 9100 for the Yale catalog or 2200
for the on disk data.
Our booth at AmiExpo got quite alot of attention, especially from the
European distributors. It sure feels good to be out "on the shelves again".
I sure hope this one lasts a bit longer than the previous guys.
For current owners of Galileo, if you are registered you should be getting
an upgrade notice in a couple of weeks or so. If not, upgrade info will be
posted forthwith in the least commercial fashion that I can think of.
Thanks guys for all of your support and interest.
Now maybe I can finally afford a 2000.
