ANN: Global freeware laptop diary tool in REV

[Mark Schonewille]

Dear Kresten,

Congratulations with the new release of Phenomenalog and the launch  
of the website. As you know, I am questioning the interface and the  
complexity of the application a little, but you are aware of the  
potential problems and I am very impressed by way to turned your  
vision into a real-world application available to everyone for free.  
I know how difficult it is to keep a large and complex project like  
Phenomenalog going and take my hat off to you.

If you would like to put a banner to your new web site on the Economy- 
x-Talk homepage, just send me one of the right size and I'll put it  
on-line. I have quite some experience with Arabic texts in  
Revolution, even though I don't understand a single word Arabic. I  
recommend that you write me off-list and let me know what you would  
like to achieve.

Best regards,

Mark
