Definitely. We can never tell what is going to be the next break through product. ;-) I had one excellent seller a few years ago...unfortunately, that market dried up. I have been working on another such product and who know?!

I once created an add-in type of product (over 12 years ago) and it was somewhat of a failure until I had one huge, multilicense sale that brought in a huge amount of revenue. Suddenly, it was successful ! This is very similar to what had happened with Richard Branson when he started Virgin Records.... It was failing and then he signed Phil Collins and Boy George.....and in the end, he sold the company for 1 billion !!! -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
