Thanks.

As you can imagine, it's pretty rare for me to sell a product. (There 
are *billions* of fractal galleries, many much nicer than mine.)

Ooo... Some guy called Seamus who lives in Arizona. Damn, I get $3 for 
that! :-D

Mmm, interesting. Inspecting the list, I can give you the following 
useless statistics:

- This is the first sale of any product that wasn't a print.

- Only one person has ever purchased more than one product from me. 
(LOL! Oh, wait... does that mean? No, it was in a single order...)

- The majority of customers had male-sounding names. (7 male, 3 female, 
1 ambiguous.)

- All products were shipped to USA addresses. (Except one that went to 
Canada.)

- Highest ever royalty was $3.32 (so this purchase is actually quite 
close to that). Lowest was $0.95 (tied). Most were exactly $1.33.

Looking at my referrals page, I find that 100% of the cash earned was 
*me* referring *myself* to various products. LOL! But yes, I made $0 in 
terms of referrals for *other customers*. Oh well... [inserts Zazzle
