From: andrew@tug.com (Andrew Beattie) Subject: Drachen pay up! Organization: /usr/lib/news/organisation Date: Fri, 17 May 1996 22:32:40 -1000 Message-ID: I've complained here a few times that I was having the greatest of difficulty in persuading Drachen Magazin to pay for articles that I did last summer, feeling particularly bitter because I had put a considerable amount of effort and money into doing the projects to a high standard. In order to be even handed, I feel that I should note here that a substantial cheque finaly arrived this morning, together with an apology and an explanation. The reports were made available on the Web a few months after publication and can be found at: http://www.kfs.org/kites -> Festivals -> Washington and http://www.kfs.org/kites -> Festivals -> Bristol They contain many of the best kite photographs that I have ever taken. They money will go towards buying a lap-top, to compliment my 386/20Mhz, Which is beginning to creak under the strain of 25000 news articles and 25Mb of mail archives. From the end of this month, I will be switching my 100 mile round trip commute from road to rail, so that I can do my news, mail and web maintenance as I travel - this should give me more time to do the web projects I want to work on, plus more time for flying and sewing. Andrew -- If you buy rare and expensive kites and hang them on the wall, you won't understand, but if risk hand-painted washi-paper kites in the elements, you might find AoxomoxoA = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
