UPDATE: This is one of the first pages ever at my website ...
Or, as we sometimes said in those days, my "Web site." I left this page online just for fun. It originally hit the Information Highway in 1997.
Most of the links in it don't work or will redirect you to a current page. Even the updated first paragraph is outdated. Some text and links here may have been updated after 1997.
My site overall dates back to 1996, when it was hosted at CompuServe. Since then, it has undergone several renovations and countless additions, deletions, and updates.
Here are some of my current identities:

SOFTWARE
Sabasoft. Publisher of XFERPRO, a program that converts binary files (like programs, images and formatted word-processing files) into ASCII format and back, so they can be transmitted over the Internet (if your browser or gateway doesn't do this automatically). It's a shareware program -- pay about $10 if you like it, slightly more if you want the program and/or manual on-disk. Their new site links you to a choice of easy download locations.

MISCELLANEOUS
Mad River Glen Co-op ski area. What's this have to do with marketing? Mad River skiers like it so much, they bought the mountain! Talk about an interesting marketing situation: In Waitsfield, Vt. (south of Montpelier, near Sugarbush), Mad River Glen is skiing the way it used to be. While much of the mountain challenges the most experienced skier, it has many groomed trails that invite and inspire intermediates and even beginners, along with picturesque skiable glades, family facilities, and a worldwide reputation for its comfortable lodge and natural snow. Mad River also boasts the country's first (and now only?) single chair among its four lifts. Ticket prices are reasonable. You don't have to own a share, but if you'd like to, information is here. (Also check here for news of possible summer biking, hiking and entertainment activities.)
The Computer Paper. Canada's largest monthly computer magazine has pages with unusual effects visual and sound effects. I like TCP's attitude in trying to make the pages and effects work for as many people as possible, although I've just given the site a quick look.
