True's free distribution is underwritten by one clearly marked advertisement carried with the text. Attention-demanding web "banner" ads bother readers (do you like them?) in large part because they don't provide enough information for viewers to decide whether they're interested in what you have to say! An ad in True gives you several lines to explain your product or service's benefit to readers; then they can come to your site or autoresponder for more details. (If you don't have an autoresponder, we can provide one!) Best of all, ads in True cost less than most banner ads -- less than one-half cent per impression!

Troubled by unsolicited e-mail such as "junk" advertising? It's called "spam", and if it isn't a problem for you already, it soon will be. Here's our policy on it, what we do to help you, and what you can do to help yourself and others avoid this plague.

The Dvorak keyboard. Information about the Dvorak ergonomic keyboard (with a diagram), an alternative to the common "Qwerty" layout you're probably sitting in front of right now. (No, this doesn't really have anything to do with True, but Randy not only uses the Dvorak, he is one of the leading experts on it.)
