You are always welcome to put it up at:

http://sirius.secureforum.com:8080/~bostick/login

And point people to the image.

It's email and web based with chat etc.

No advertising either.

Peter Fredrick is gearing up to teach free TemperaPrint classes on-line on
the discussion group in the near future.
