(Yes is direct sales, but if they are innovative far more ;) I get calls every week asking if I know someone that can write for their company a program that does X, etc. They don't care how just that it is done quick and reasonably priced. So at least for "our guys" there is a win win to come. Actually, isn't Gnoga providing a platform just like what big companies like Microsoft are trying to sell? "Cloudbased computing"? Which is really just a euphemism for old fashioned client server development just on a massive scale? If so, this would enable a lot of people to provide their software on a server as a service for rent, which is what MS want's to do more and more because they recognized that it's better to make 20$/month than 100$ from a one time sale. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
