Welcome to the list!
Thank you for the URL. I actually wrote to the guy last night and told
him I was not going to do the project. I also sent him some snippets of

Dear Hardnose Tim ;-) ,
The fact that so many programs have spell checkers today makes it even
more inexcusable. I heard from a HR person once that, when they post a

Hi all,

I think your client is wrong.

each one I'll expect to be able to find the particular

are interested) is www.zenwindows.com. The guy told me that they are
not having a lot of people fill out their online form. Well, it took me
a few minutes to find the link to it!!

It comes across as unprofessional to me.
I found four typos while reading just two pages.
Additionally, the homepage content is hard to understand.

Well, I suppose if you are sitting at home wondering where the next

Only you can judge that, Riva - I've spent most of my admin time this

from a client in Hong Kong a week ago, so I'm probably just taking a
more pessimistic view than usual...

Thanks Franni.

that charges $3500 up front, $1000 per month and the $3500 is refundable
