| On-Line Ordering |
Miva Merchant 4.12, a little bit difficult to install, but lots of excellent documentation, tech support, and the most powerful and flexible shopping cart system in the world. Well worth the high cost of entry. |

| Web Hosting |
We only have a dial-up connection in this little town. CI-Host is one of the top 10 hosting companies in the US. In my opinion, this is the only way to go. Fast, Friendly, and Powerful tech support. They are easy on the budget, with features far more sophisticated than we will ever use. |

| Board Assembly |
North Gate Manufacturing. Like us, a small company with lots of potential. No job is too big or small. Give Jeff a call and tell him how you heard about his company. |

| Circuit Board Layout |
Originally for the Mac, now ported to the PC using a Mac emulator, still the best layout program around and well worth the low price of entry. Douglas Electronics makes the only PCB CAD software that doesn't require a manual. Very intuitive and fits me like a glove for hand routing printed circuit boards. |
