Please re-read and try to understand I wrote under 2) in my last message! >> Selling software is a different piece of cake.

Cannot find it in my Oxford- and/or Webstersdict. Eng/Dutch. And please: Further conversation concerning this OffList. At all events, this is my last reaction concerning this OnList.
