Wow! That’s some cash. Are you going to cover web based alternatives as well – I alternate between using a PC and a Mac, hence we pursued a web-based approach with our solution.
You’re Four Minute Meeting post has inspired me to write something on that aspect of projects by the way!
We will definitely cover web based alternatives as well. I’ve received a lot of Tweets from software development companies that have tools they’d like me to try. I’m looking forward to it!
I’m glad you enjoyed the Four Minute Meeting post. I can’t wait to read your article too.
