Bill, I can't promise nothing, but send me some info offline. I almost have all the pieces in place and I'd rather sell, put together projects, etc., rather then develop.
Just not a back room type of guy, but as you say, we have to do what we have too in order to make a living.

I still think that and the VFPDA were great ideas, they just lacked 'champions' willing to devote the time and energy to make something like that happen. But we do have to survive, and since it boils down to either selling or getting a job, we wind up doing what we have to do. Here's what I've got assembled: - a demo system that unlocks with an activation key - a CHM help file with emphasis on video demos - a (joomla/php/mysql) website with a downloads area and support forum - a telemarketing script - a prospects database - software to support telemarketing (tracking) - a price list - a software license - VNC based remote support And, last but not least, 2 successful customer/users. That should cover the bases. Frankly, the missing piece is my own reluctance to switch gears and start treating sales as job # 1. Bill > Michael J.
