Updates:

Minor flaws corrected (including my stupid error that caused IE 8 to disrupt display).
'Factory Index' restructured to better show public/non-public content.
All menu pages now use improved manufacturer dividers.
Complete site labeled with ICRA (ICRA / PICS: no age restrictions).

October 3rd:

Another big update only a month after the last and this time on German Unity Day - the Wall came down 20 years ago! I am very proud to mention that my site was some time ago included in the ART-Guide: Sammlung kunsthistorischer Internetquellen (collection of art-historical internet resources) created and maintained by the renown institutions of the Universitätsbibliothek Heidelberg and the Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden.

Updates:

Gone through a dozen or so minor tweaks and code corrections.
Login and Non-Public Section (with IP-tracking) now active for internal testing (my eyes only).
Updated 'Search Engine' page, mask and output form.
Updated 'Book Errata'.
Updated 'Unidentified Marks'.

September 6th:

Up and running again after well over a year of problems, drawbacks, bills and stupid lawyers that all together prevented an update during 2008. I do believe that a few of the following points should make up for the long wait; one or two other minor changes are not visible at the moment but the [Login] does not have anything to do with the site content.

In memory of fellow traveller Nicholas 'Nick' Ranta - The Good Ones Always Die Young.
