Comments by Cliff:
Not as good a seller as I had hoped, but will probably continue to sell in
the long term. Portal sales unknown as yet. The game continues to sell quite
steadily, and my games have seen very long life spans. Democracy has sold
hundreds of copies over the same period, and that’s very old. Also there are
additional Mac sales, which I have not listed.
