[WNDW] Website is up, mailing list is ready

[Jim Forster]

Hi Rob, Marco, Carlo,

The web site is great!   It's just what's needed.   I see the color  
scheme from the book cover is on the web site, which is cool.

Rob, I placed an order with Lulu for your books on Jan. 16 with  
normal delivery.   At the time I wasn't thinking of waiting for a  
hard copy before launching, or I would have made it express.   Right  
now it says:

Label/Receipt Number: 9102 1374 6825 7000 2459 38
Status: Enroute

Your item was processed and left our FEDERAL WAY, WA 98003 facility  
on January 24, 2006. Information, if available, is updated every  
evening. Please check again later.

So I agree, we should just launch with or without seeing the  
hardcopy.   BTW, I ordered copies for me at the same time, and they  
were shipped from Pennsylvania on Jan. 20.   Strange.    The copies I  
ordered for Tomas & Marco on 18 Jan still haven't shipped :-(.   I  
guess the European printing facility isn't quite up to speed or  
something.

Ian, can you send the draft of the press release to the list for review?
