What does NewAE stand for?
In reality - nothing. The name actually came from what this place was originally called, which was "New Age Engineering". The "New Age" was not supposed to have to do anything with the New Age movement, but that was a bit confusing. I wanted to make sure people didn't think I was advocating the New Age movement, so I just shortened it to get ride of all that.Why is there no flash, java, frames, or other fancy things on this website?
Simple - this site is viewable in any browser that way. Be it IE, Firefox, Lynx, or a cell phone. See the Any Browser Campaign at http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign.I'm looking for something on the "old" website, where is it now?

NewAE doesn't handle your credit card at all right now. 2CheckOut.com Inc, acts as a retailer for us. NewAE will be shipping it to you - but it would be impossible for NewAE to scam you, as if that happened 2CheckOut would refund your money and shut down our account.Who are you?

Sept 12, 2003
- I have moved hosts to funio.com, which gives me actual web space, and is much more reliable than my old host. If you are looking for a host funio.com
is great, whereas my old one (droc.ca) was terrible. For about two weeks before today they dropped my mail messages, so if you e-mailed me between end of
august and beginning of september to coflynn@newae.com I might not have got them.
