True. However, the best support can be given by a pro who has a cooperation of the hosting company. Most of them will never cooperate, as they earn better (despite their awful quality of work) with an external person/company. So, your main channel - the hosting supplier, will probably not like you

It doesn't matter. Because a customer needs a method of estimating a work, does not make you his bitch(tm). You can estimate your work, but you seldom work in a vacuum.

Mind you that the level of user experience would depend on the speed if the display adapter. This is not a simple requirement in a virtual environment.

Because most households in israel do not buy their office... It would be stupid to assume they do. Moreover - the school headmaster does not assume that either. He/she knows most people just "have" their office installed, and they care nothing about it. Ez On Feb 5, 2012 9:12 AM, "Nadav Har'El"

Sorry. Should have been "reply all". Not to mention that Hot sells phone lines with unlimited plan at 69 ILS/month, if I'm not mistaken, which leaves you with a simpler solution. Way simpler and cheaper than connecting cellular line... Ez On Sun, Jun 10, 2012 at 4:50 PM, Nadav Har'El wrote: >
