Hi Al and All: Of course Paul is here. http://www.servicesoftware.com/subscrip.htm has everything anybody would want to know about WinSTIPS subscriptions. Interestingly, neither the policies nor the price have changed very much for years ... but there has been significant investment in software development. This continues today. The other thing that continues today is a significant level of participation by WinSTIPS Subscribers. That's one of the things - of course -- that makes a WinSTIPS Subscription so valuable. One other comment, just to clear up confusion ... Edward Gaidies said: <<< Plus the database is not set up in a way that you may loose the whole thing, >>> WinSTIPS is not set up so you can "loose the whole thing". Not only do you get to keep every record, you also get free software updates even if you do not subscribe. That's right - even the users who do not subscribe get free updates to WinSTIPS 2.0 software (not the database, of course). Best regards, --== Paul ==-- ---------- Paul R.

We can build it the same way Winstips was built, when Ken was helping us,like Jeff does,without putting a price on everything. Jeff can make money on this and we can all benefit. I see a good deal.Perhaps a guru on the list (Gary) can help with a search engine? I would if I knew anything about it. al alleathe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Al Leatherman Mine Hill, NJ 07803 973-361-5796 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward Gaidies" <teltek@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 7:37 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: WinSTIPS > > Show our consistency...same question.....same answer. > We just don't pull this stuff out of the clear blue. > I think Jeff has the better deal for the dollar.
