If your browser shows no "Amazon.com" graphical link
to the left of the CD Baby graphic, you will have to click on an
"Amazon.com" text link on one of my other pages, like the
Folk Music Bibliography page. Text links with my referral code
to a specific book or musical artist work fine, but it is not possible to
text link to their home page with the code.
Effective 1-01-2007: Amazon started fining those who do not do Direct
Deposit. Associates will be punished with $15.00 check processing fine
for every referral check postal mailed. This was unacceptable! I was
forced to remove my Amazon referral code from 151 links and never again
include it with any new Amazon link. That was way! better than handing
over total access and control of my checking account to Amazon, as well
as the owners of every keylogger installed on my hard drive, but either
not deleted by Spybot or AD-Aware, or added anew since the last cleanup
run. The few pennies lost in referrals not earned, were miniscule
compared to the thousands of dollars in Identity Theft losses resulting
from being an Amazon Associate. Keyloggers are the reason I will NEVER
enter my checking account routing number, credit card number or Social
Security card number over the Internet for ANY reason!! By the time the
number even gets to what may be promoted as a secure site, it has already
been stolen by a keylogger.
In comparison, CD Baby sends out paper checks and never charges
anything for doing so. I highly recommend becoming an CD Baby Associate.

DLS Internet Services
- (10-16-2004 - 12-15-2005) provided a DEC/VMS operating system where
the EVE/TPU text editor was used to maintain all the HTML code on my
entire Web site. I have been maintaining Web pages this same way since
1994.
12-15-2005: With only two weeks notice, they screwed me by deciding to
go out of the VMS support business. They deleted my account and
permanently powered off their only VMS Server today. This effectively
removed my ability to update this Web site normally. Although I paid for
two years service, they shut down the service after just 14 months and
never refunded anything for the 10 months service not provided. I tried
to purchase a new HP Alpha WorkStation running the OpenVMS Operating
System, but HP has stopped selling them. It took me over seven months to
find a new VMS provider. ... In all fairness to DLS, they did offer to
power back up their VMS Server and just charge me a small "Co-location"
fee to use it. Compared to my previous account which cost $120.00/year,
this new service would only cost me $300/month!
http://www.encompasserve.org/ (DECUServe On-Line Conferencing) - provides a DEC/VMS operating system where their EVE/TPU text editor allowed the resumption of full editing of this site's pages. Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC) invented VMS in the early 1980's. As this is the present day version of the original DECUS (DEC Users Society), and VMS users are the only users with accounts of any kind, it is unlikely I will ever lose my VMS login account again.
