It was done in the style of an old snake-oil remedy flyer, claiming to advertise a tonic that would solve your various economic and housing difficulties.Look at the bottom… I was using Yahoo for email! That’s how long ago this was. Michael Kupietz It is I! Mike Kupietz, a reluctant scion of the postmodern age, is larger on the inside than the outside: perhaps not a composer, but a creator and arranger of sounds, nor a writer, but an avid writer-down; an occasional author of doggerel; an erstwhile urban hermit; and privately a man of great ardor.

He is currently in what he calls the "red bathrobe period" of his life.

Mike's professional services are on his Bay Area FileMaker Pro consulting website.
