> +++++++++++++
> On August 16, 1999 MTAA (M.River & T.Whid Art Associates) launched
> their online project "Website Unseen"
> <http://www.mteww.com/websiteunseen/index2.html>. The project offered
> one hundred titles for art web sites that MTAA promised to build for
> $US 100.00 per website. On August 06, 2001, after 15 commissions
> resulting from the original "Website Unseen" opportunity, MTAA
> withdrew the offer. Since the close, one new site has been
> commissioned by special agreement. This brings the total number of
> completed "Website Unseen" commissions to sixteen.
>
> To celebrate the Fourth Anniversary of "Website Unseen," MTAA is
> offering one more project for sale under the "classic offer", that
> is, it'll only cost you one hundred bucks.
