Blazing Dawn Software products are
undergoing "renovations." The old favorites will be replaced with new,
more modern versions as time goes on. Up next is our popular
educational title, Creepin' Critter Math.

System Requirements
See the
indivdual applications for their system requirements.
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.
Al Stewart
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.
Melron Records (free song
downloads!)
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.
Orange Book Companion®
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.
My photo gallery on Zazzle.com
I like creating
artisitc photos. I have four examples at Zazzle.com that make great
posters.
