Dear Robert,
    I agree and I think this sounds like a great idea!!! I too want to learn this stuff!
I just have no more money now. : (
    The every other month brainstorming sessions in different parts of country sound wonderful too. And like you I can't afford to travel. : (
    Ah well. As long as I can keep muddling thru with help of list until I get my sites up I'm happy.
    I hope these great ideas work out and maybe I can participate later when I have more moolah!
    Just don't cut off list help for us WebCat challenged folks in the here and now.

    I think some nice solutions arose from your posting. Hope I didn't sound like a wet blanket before.

    Healthy positive debate is a good thing!
    And manuel needs to be rewritten or software needs to be sold as tool for techies (no offense meant techies - oh great ones that have forged ahead and created the path : D). Not a chop! Just what is.
    It must be hard for folks at Pacific Coast's level of expertise to realize just how far down on the old learning curve the buyers of their product are going to be. : D
    The ideas sent in for a revised manuel sound really good! I hope they get utilized!
    And encouraging Pacific Coast to redo manuel will make them more money in the long run because people like me won't look at the manuel, realize how far out of their league everything is, panic, and send it all back!
    Great product combined with easily understood and comprehensive manuel (which would still require effort and learning from the motivated customer) = wider selling market = more money!!!! And more money is never a bad thing.

    And I too am willing to volunteer to help with manuel!!! Ah! How on earth could I help? I could be a tester for whether or not its easily understood! If I could understand it then they could have it printed with confidence knowing anyone could understand it!! ; )

    Unfortunately I'm still in limbo land waiting to see if WebTen will function with the one machine method I need to use for WebCat development. If I can't get this stuff out of the box and happening here pretty fast I'm going to go nuts!!! : (
    I know this product is going to be terrific for what I'm doing if I can just get the chance to do it!
