Oh I agree. I was flabbergasted when this one potential FabMate client wanted me to do all of these changes per their needs and show him that my app could do those things....all without a contract or any charge whatsoever. I'm glad I didn't get that guy as a customer...they would have been a nightmare. They were into construction, and I told him that his request was like me asking them to erect a building for me and then I'd decide if I wanted to buy it or not. He should have known better. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
