[Image]  Online Purchasing

I offer Online Purchasing through The Kagi Store's Secure Server or Regular Server. Download software, and if you like it, come back here and purchase a license using a major credit card, check or even cash. If you don't know whether your browser supports secure transactions, try the Secure Server first. If it does not work, then try the Regular Server. I personally do not see your credit card information. Everything is handled by The Kagi Store. If you want information about Kagi before you entrust your credit card number to them, visit their site at www.kagi.com.

Were you ever a fan of singer/songwriter Al Stewart, but have lost track of him since the days of his Platinum albums, "Year of the Cat" and "Time Passages"? Well, Al is alive and well, and still performing; and has done some great albums since Time Passages. Check out his official web site for more information.

Do you like the "Philly Sound" of the late 50's and early 60's? If so, check out the web site of Melron Records and listen to song samples in MP3 format. You can also download three full length MP3's! All songs are Melron originals from that era. Includes Pop and R&B sounds. All songs can be purchased from Apple's iTunes Music Store.

I created the Orange Book Companion line of drug information products and services as a way to make it easier to research the patents and exclusivity of FDA-approved drugs. The Orange Book Companion is now marketed by the Food and Drug Law Institute in Washington, DC. They offer both online and CD-ROM subscriptions at reasonable prices. Anyone interested in archival copies of the Orange Book Companion two-volume book set from 2003 and 2004 should request availability and pricing information from FDLI. I intend to bring back the Orange Book Companion two-volume book set in the future.
