Hello Bill and List, I didn't really consider responding to your initial query because I thought my offer would be run-of -the-mill statistics. However, after seeing your summary I am quite amazed at the prices requested.
So you can add in another statistic: we offer programming services (from Israel) in MapBasic, MapX, MapXtreme NT and MapXtreme Java for $350 per day. Geographical distance should not be an obstacle. Any takers? Best regards, Alex Eshed Tel: +972-3-961-5840 Digi-Tek Ltd.
