Those folks at that conference are right… there is no money in educational software UNLESS you hook up with a successful publisher. Ala Scholastic, Warner, Broderbund, etc…. I wouldn't try anything small-company-wise in education. It's doomed to fail… the educational market is no-money because, in case you haven't noticed, schools have no money! Subsequently, they are very conservative on what they'll spend their annual budgets on and will normally stick to the major hitters (see above list!). I keep hoping Director 3 will come out RSN. With full AGA support and everything. If the software is that expensive, then author it yourself on one machine, spec the whole thing out and farm it to some eager programmer for coding in C (or whatever). It's freelance so you keep the rights to the program and it'll be cheaper. Incentive to the programmer is money for continuing support. (updates, bug-squashing, etc.) You'll also eliminate tons of overhead code-wise which will improve speed, efficiency, etc. Yeah, all the stuff I've been talking about is children's education, not adult. There's potential in the adult field as well… Learning C will surely help! Knowledge is power! Project Manager is definitely accurate, but my leanings are still more tech, so maybe Project/Tech Manager is more accurate. A Project Manager would have to deal with the writers, editors, copy-editors, etc., which I don't care for. Miguel ——– AP, AP, and away!
