Murph: It depends on the size of the market in Green Bay! But the main problem may be your under-capitalization. I found that to get REALLY good clients, you have to know the program REALLY well. The only way to do this is to invest time in learning and training yourself, and invest money in getting the hardware and support software to be able to offer a complete solution. When Autodesk first came out with 3D Studio, they thought that a dealer would have to invest about $150,000 to make it fly. I found that number rather low, but then I've always been attracted to the newest, latest, and greatest gadgets for running the program. This includes networking, video output, multiple types of graphics cards for clients to compare, extra copies of the program to loan to good clients for evaluation (I DO like the hardware lock for that reason!), tape decks, editors, recordable laser disk, etc. And then training your staff to KNOW the program and all it's funky features and configurations! Not a small task, to say the least! Let me know how it goes… Good Luck, Greg Pyros
