I see Rod's problem. He's selling a application for only $895. I don't 
know what his deal with fpTechnologies is, but if it costs him $195 for 
a filepro runtime license, that only leaves $700 gross profit. If he 
pays full price for Print Wizard, that cuts gross profit by another 
$100, which may be all he really gets to keep after all is said and 
done. Or maybe Rod just wants to retire sooner.

I'm not sure if I woke up today I would day, "I think I'll write a 
tow-truck business management system in filePro". Nah, I'd probably 
write it with QuickBooks SDK and some Micr$oft framework...

But then what do I know. I'm all enamored with .net functionality these 
days. I just hate that it'll be a year or so before Mono will be a 
better .net platform than Microsoft.
