OK I must say, I'm not in the business of shaking people down for tech support moneys. Bug calls and installation problems will always be free. And of course the meter never runs while talking about possible new business. It is just that my time is valuable so by tracking it, it forces you to value it too. Please try to optimize your calls, write down a question list before calling, have a listing handy and have your box booted up. Also I will not bother to bill your account for a quickie call or two (less than 5 minutes) but please wait till the S & Ps close or call during lunch. But if you get the idea from my prices that I actively discourage calls during market hours - you're right.

The $100.00 soft dollar credit for technical support should be more than enough to get most people up to speed with the library so you may also use this credit for custom coding. So if you need a routine or 2 or something in the library doesn't quite meet your needs, let's talk.

For each on-site consulting day - you will get a 3 hour credit for new development work.
