REALITY SOFTWARE:
WHO WE ARE AND HOW TO CONTACT US
Reality Software is a small, two person company run by
myself, Ben Blumenberg, and my wife, Leslie Berger Blumenberg.
We do it all: author, design, produce, test and ship the software,
maintain our PC's and feed the cat. We started Reality Software
in the winter of 1991 when our two daughters were preparing to go
out into the world on their own and PC technology had arrived
that allowed us to execute various product ideas we had
developed.
Our first product line was mythology E-books, a commitment that
has its roots in our intense personal interest in humankind's
spiritual journey, both past and present. Before entering the
computer software business, I ad a college faculty position for 21
years and had done considerable published research in such
fields as biometry, population genetics, human evolution (physical
and cultural anthropology) and history of hand tools in America.
Although my casual acquaintance with religious history goes back
to my undergraduate years, I began to develop a deep curiosity
about ancient, classical and medieval history and the evolution of
religious and mythic systems.
In the fall of 1994, we began to develop two additional, but
interrelated, product lines. From the early '80s through the early
'90s, we were full time antique dealers and thereby became quite
involved with various aspects of American history. During that
period, we collected antique transportation photography,
particularly that of early railroads and classic sailing
ships. Our collection is fascinating to us and we hope you enjoy it
as well. Many of the photos are unique, quite rare and contain
valuable historical data. We decided to have this collection
scanned, making it available to both enthusiasts and media
professionals at the lowest possible cost, accompanied by
whatever reliable historical data can be determined for each
image. As many of these early photos are severely damaged,
Leslie brings her exceptional skill at restoration to this project in
order to both accurately preserve the important data in the images
and make an attractive computer graphic available for sale.
You will rarely see small graphic files at 256 grey scale with this
level of clarity and quality.
Leslie has a degree in special needs education for young
children. Her experience with the diversity of perceptual worlds
manifested by young children, whose alternative visions may be
unique unto themselves, has provided an endlessly fertile ground
for metaphoric artistic exploration. Our third product line rests
upon the her artistic talents. Her thematic focus stems from a study
of the archeology and anthropology of tribal and Neolithic
cultures. Leslie then draws upon this data to create important
artistic motifs which illustrate the clan experience, totemic
relationships and the vision quest. Her compositions illustrate the
great mythic diversity that has, and still does, exist among the
world's peoples. We hope you enjoy these exceptional images as
they capture important mythological motifs and may they enrich
your imagination and spiritual lives.
