[nbos] Skwyre Preview Edition now available!

[Steve Burchett]

Wow! I finally got a chance to go look at the page and was surprised and
amazed to see "Screen Monkey" at the bottom of the page, under copyrights.

I bought that software way back in the ancient days (2008) and used it
successfully to run a Traveller campaign remotely.

Any chance of a discount when this comes out? 😇
