Craig,
The major problem I see is that customers are simply too used to buying
software at 45% of list and getting a 24-hour 800# for tech support from the
mfg. The situation they are faced with in an AutoCAD or 3DS sale is
completely foreign to thier experience and thus sometimes look "un-trustful"
when the technical support issue is brought up with its associated costs.
When a descent support offering (training, phone technical, etc..) runs 50%
and more than the software costs … well … its something the average
customer is just not used to.

PS … Looks like we'll have more than 40 people for the 1st USG meeting!!!
