Steve, Chase and list, Thanks for all the contact info you're providing. I'm keeping all those messages. I'm thinking about how to present the optacon in such a way that people who have never heard of it can see how special it is; with all my planning, though, I usually just dive in and end up disregarding any plans I make. I'm wondering, since this list is part of this, if some folks should review what I put together before I send it out; or maybe some of you can submit brief testimonials in audio format, maybe fifteen or thirty seconds, so that people can hear other voices besides mine. I can easily splice them in. I use Studio Recorder from American Printing House for my audio work, and I'm nowhere as professional as those who have sound studios, but I do what I can. Any thoughts are most welcome; I'd kind of like to keep this discussion on the list, if the moderator doesn't mind, so we can all be part of it.
