When you go to trade / technology shows and fairs though, the sales
people you are talking to are mostly engineers (thats how the few I
went to this year have been).

And as for getting a "salesman", well that is me. Will be selling the
idea of peing on the web to people and then getting them on.

I guess I shouldn't have added the sales part onto the list there since
in all reality I will be doing most of that work. The others will just be
putting the clients ideas onto the WWW for them.

Personally, I like being able to do several tasks .. though they usually
end up being all at once. It keeps me more interested and keeps me from
going insane from doing the same thing all the time.
