WELCOME
The "First" edition or
version of the 20th Anniversary CD ROM was released in 2005. This version
contained extensive sound, music and full motion videos of comments by many
painting owners and knowledgeable individuals. There was also extensive on
camera commentary by Jay Koka discussing the background and execution of many
of his works.
This was... and continues to be... very rich content that
unfortunately became a victim of technological change. First, it was created in
a PC environment to make it extremely web-friendly... but this made many
aspects of the disk troublesome for Macs. Second, the many "rich" features
required the viewer's computer to execute files that could be classed as
"dangerous" by over-enthusiastic firewalls and filters as well as super-strict
security settings of machines browsers.
The bottom line is that too many
things had to be "just right" to enjoy the multimedia electronic book in the
way it was originally designed.
We've decided to create a Second Edition
that contains all of the information of the first but without the multimedia
content and produced in a simple PDF format that everyone can use...the
Adobe® reader is available for free to everyone.
In addition to
this, the entire Second Edition content has also been posted to the 20th
Anniversary website at www.k20.ca making it available to everyone
without charge.
Navigation of the book is simple... just use the
links located at the top of each page. Chapters can be accessed directly by
using the links also at the top of each page.
For those who might like
to have something to hold in their hands, the Second Edition is also available
on request on a single CD for nominal cost.
