Thanks Jeff, I'd hate to think That I was going to spend a great deal of effort, time, not to mention money educating potential clients just to have the product opened up to a bunch of "Sales-Teams" With commision only attitudes. Not that AutoCAD Dealers aren't a Wonderful bunch of Human Beings, Lord knows, I used to be one for four years, Its just that I believe everyone should have a SPECIALTY and not try to be all things to all people. This is definatly a problem on the AutoCAD side of things and I would hate to see the water so muddied by opening up the product to the AutoCAD People. I wouldn't even want to be authorized to sell AutoCAD as a compensation although I could probably do a better job than certain dealers I've had the misfortune to run in to through my support side of the business. There are a lot of Un-Official Orphans on the AutoCAD Side of the business. Shall we call them " Under-Supported." Part of my income is derived from many of these people. I also teach AutoCAD Classes utilizing the MicroCAD Institutes Training Materials and Clients can't get over the quality of the Class. When it's actually Professionally organized and presented. So WHY would I want to SELL it. Enough about me. Let me know about the Rumor. I also would like to know, "on the Dealer Channel of Course" About a Veeeery New Product a pal of mine almost mentioned. He's under Non-Disclosure to AutoDesk So he stopped short of actually telling me what it was. I reeeeally hate it when he does that. SOOOOOOO WHATS NEW! James M. Murphy
