Re: Contest Information for TAG

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

These URL's:

http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/brochure-2001.pdf
http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/entry-form-2001.pdf

are working.  They were working yesterday as well when I tested them.
These are the "press kit" that anyone can download from the contest
website, and they are "publication ready". The former is already
pre-conformed to be printed out and turned into a folded brochure.

The AGA websites were down three and a half days, from July 19th 8 AM to
23 July 1:23 AM.  Straight from the logs.  And beleive me, I was
monitoring this the best I could being on vacation.

I do not remember the original URL's I pointed you to, but it is possible
that I made the word document source available on test.thekrib.com, that
is a temporary location which I use to put things up for pubs people, and
which I purge every month or so.  Next time I will mail you a 10 meg file
instead.
