The International Steam Pages


Sweet Dreams

Dropbox Download Just GBP 6!

The ultimate Javanese Sugar CD is now released. I have selected more than 300 pictures from my colour slide collection taken over a period of more than 20 years. Each image is designed to be presented on a 800x600 (sVGA) screen using 'Hi-color setting'. Every aspect of sugar mill activity is covered and there are also 16 short video clips to show particular aspects of operation.  Some of the pictures appear (in reduced size) on these pages but most have never been published.

I would prefer UK residents to send a cheque or make online payment, I can advise an address/account. Please send your orders to the email address below.

Dropbox download, I have withdrawn the CD version as I have to buy a colour ink cartridge if I get an order!

I will supply a link which allow you to obtain the CD content which you can then play directly off your hard drive or burn to CD yourself. Also included will be a file to print a jewel case insert. Since this will also save me the considerable cost of postage (especially outside the UK), the cost will be just GBP 6.

Use this button to pay for the Dropbox Download. (Read this if you are a non-UK EU customer.)

Alternatively send an email to , indicating where you would like the CD sent and I will advise available methods which will avoid excessive bank charges.

(IMPORTANT: the addresses with "@" above are NOT LINKS which can be clicked, they are images, you will have to retype them for an email or Paypal transaction. Sorry but that has to be done to try to prevent the address being spammed.

Non UK EU customers should note that for VAT purposes you are actually paying for a plain vanilla CD version without Jewel case which I will retain here unless you are willing to pay extra for posting it to you. The Download will then be free,
