THANKS ! will go look at them. be easier to scan all sure but was looking at it as a add on sell. say like a buck a month we will scan your incoming messages for viruses (all the normal legal disclaimers of course). so figure if we have 2000 users and 50% go for it (probably high but we are in a older generation area 55 and up). then theres a 1000 extra $ a month. just a thought tho.
