You guys know of course that the decoder rings only allowed you to
decode commercials telling you to buy more Ovaltine........

I too was really looking forward to the Decoder Ring. I never got one
wwhen I was a kid (had the ovaltine, no TV).
Ron and John, can you do anything at this late date and get those rings
shipped with the book? I will even wait a coupla extra weeks for the
book.

But I wanted the decoder ring. Back in my youth, when the dinosaurs roamed
the earth, there was a show on TV (captain midnight or something like that)
that included coded messages. In order to get the decoder ring, you had to
drink Ovalteen (sp) and send away for the ring. I wouldn't drink the stuff,
it sounded disgusting to me, so I was never able to get the decoder ring. I
never did know what those secret messages were. I ordered a copy of the book
and was looking forward to finally getting a decorder ring. Now you say it's
not necessary. No decoder ring for me. sigh. If someone mentions a glaze
giving the name and/or page number, I'll just have to open the book. Can't we
at least have a secret handshake?

Marvelous idea, and so simple! The decoder rings would just have added to
the cost of the book, anyhow . >>

How about if we just send you to this web site so you can see the prototypes
we're secretly working on?
