9001: General FlashBack/SunFlash Information
journals that I edit and publish: "SunFlash" , "FlashBack" and
"The Internet FlashBack"
"SunFlash" is the continuation of that journal. When "SunFlash"
grew to about 100 articles per month, 140,000+ subscribers and
30,000+ article requests per month I decided that it was time to
make some changes. For a variety of reasons, I started the two
new journals, "FlashBack" and "The Internet FlashBack",
and moved production of all three journals to an
independent company with its own resouces and Internet domain
(FlashBack.COM).
