I'm looking for the mail address of Sky Vision Kites. Or even their e-mail address. They are somewhere in Sunnyvale, California. After doing a search on Yahoo's directory, I found Sky Vision Kites as one of the retailer's on the internet: http://www.portal.com/~skyvis/sale.html I decided to buy one of their kites, but their order form is in a postscript file that I am unable to read. I think it is great that kite makers and retailers are on the Internet. However, if a company wants to get orders, it should prominentaly display its address and e-mail or provide a forms page where an order can be placed automatically. If Sky Vision Kites hired a consultant or their service provider to construct their web pages, they should request a refund. They are not reaching their full audience.

I am trying to keep my overhead as low as possible so I can provide the best kite for the dollar. For that same reason I have decided not to take credit cards.

A good few of the plans are in Postscript, so it is worthwhile for a kite-web-surfer to be able to able to view it. Just go to your local super-highway convenience store and pick up a copy of ghostscript (for printing it) or ghostview (for displaying it on your favorite WIMP interface).

The message that came out on the printer is "Error: spooled binary file rejected" and the contents of the file looked like "B@R7bJ4aH)N" right up 'till it barfed. The only help I can offer is that they appear to be close to Sunnyvale California. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
