Sun,
I'm not in the know so much about the custom industry, as I'm just getting
into it, but I would be interested in buying instructions, maybe not of the
Valk. but defintily of your Zaku, but that's beside the point.
I think that doing them in flash would be a neat way of presenting the
intructions, and very fresh and original, but maybe on the CD you could
include a printable version of the instructions? That way we could print out
the instructions at our own cost, to reduce the amount of work and hassle
for you, and it would lower your costs immensly to boot.
Just my $0.02,
BTW, do you have a link to your e-bay auctions?
thanks,
-Geordan-

| (...) That is a fantastic suggestion!!! I don't know why I didn't think that before. Printable version on the cd, genius!!! PDF will probably be the best format to go with as it has good image quality, is printable, and cannot be modified. I can (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.general)
