Hi group:
I am not sure how interested anyone will be in this, but I am in the
process of trying to turn a long time hobby into a retirement business.
You can see the results on my new web site

Any suggestions or questions are welcome, reply here or thru the web
site e-mail links.
TIA

They are really beautiful, Don. I wish you the best in the business.
(Sadly, beyond my means right now.)
One observation: The links on your website are difficult to read on my
monitor, and would benefit from a colour change.
Lovely machines! (I *do* want one!)

Thanks Jeff: Could you be more specific about the links? My web
skills are not the best, and am not sure which pages you mean, also,
what browser are you using?
TIA
Dave G.
Sure Dave.
I'm using both IE 6 and Firefox 1.0.
My monitor is a Samsung 17" LCD.
My problem:
(and its a minor one)
You appear to have set the color for links to #ffffff (white), which doesn't
show up well against the tan background.
If you just alter (in the BODY statement) the parameter link=#ffffff to
link=#(some other colour - say A089D9 ( a nice pastel-ish purple) then the
links will appear as that colour - more contrasty than white on tan.
Postscript:
I'm having a hard time locating the statement in your code. When I look at
your page code I can't find the "link=" parameter, nor a CSS which controls
it. My Zonealarm is doing funny things too. When I copy your page to my
local disk, the statement pops right up, but I still can't see it on your
live code, even if I switch Zonealarm off. :-(
Question...
What colour do you see the link text as?
I see white.
Maybe the clock applet is doing something funny... (?)
Look - the problem is a minor one and perhaps not one to worry about
('though its bugging me).
I still *love* those sundials....

I agree, Dave. White text link on a beige background is hard to read.
Suggestion: swap out the first basic callout with this:
Nice machines. How's business? RE: the 3x price difference, are the
Aten II cast vs. machined? Are you machining these by hand or CNC?
Best of luck to you!

Now to convince buyers that yours are as precise for less money...
Again, g'luck!
Excellent idea.

Nice work on the sundials! Wonder if I could convince my wife to get one??
My $.025 (inflation adjsutment) I found the text to be a bit too techy
to appeal to the gardener type that was looking for some useful but
still ornamental object in the garden. And I suspect that the market
for the real time worshiper to be pretty thin. You need to figure out
who you are trying to speak to and adjust your prose to match.
As someone else mentioned, why the difference in prices? Ans: one is
Stainless and will last longer without discoloration. And the brass one
will go antique fairly fast. You need to bring that out.
Cheers.
