Publisher: The Asteroid/Comet Connection (A/CC) pages are posted by Columbine, Inc., which is owned by Bill Allen and Sally Beach, and which published 3D Artist magazine during 1991-2002, the first and longest-run peer-written how-to magazine for the computer 3D graphics field.
The A/CC pages are the creation of Bill Allen (editor/writer and links librarian), who has worked in commercial and non-profit publishing for three decades, including a period as a freelance aviation and science writer/photographer for several major popular magazines (bylined as "W.A.
