I agree that word-of-mouth is a very powerful marketing tool... the problem is getting those first few jobs to get things going. I've already thought about company names and have a domain lined up (and broadband to service it!). I couldn't agree more with you about the use of AOL or Hotmail addresses = instant credibility drop. I also appreciate the very practical advice regarding accounts etc. Regards, Steve. http://www.piclist.com/member/steve_russell-ntlworld- PIC/PICList FAQ: http://www.piclist.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
