Thanks for the clarification that I’m not “spam”

The “nice guy” comment was really great too.

You are very kind.

Also I hope you e-mail me because I have some ideas for you on marketing your book.

Good luck to you and your endeavors,
Mac B.

For anyone stopping by wondering why I allowed (and responded to) this “spam”, I assure you, it’s not. I had the pleasure of meeting Mac Bull over at ImWithJoe.com, and he’s a really nice guy.

Thanks again, Mac.

I like This info on the OpenOffice software. Apparently I have been looking at the “wrong” websites, because I haven’t heard of this software. So thank you and I will have to go and check it out. Since you mentioned about the wonderful PDF maker function that this software has I thought I would share about a great free PDF maker that you and your readers might be interested in. The web site is http://www.PDF995.com and the following are some of the great functions of the free version. You get more if you buy it…of course.

Anyway you get the following at no cost:
