Got the Estimate package this afternoon, Loaded like a dream, Cannot believe the depth of the program. Have been trying to get the owners to buy it since shortly after my arrival at company primarily from info gathered in th 4Edgetalk forum. They will be kicking themselves for weeks to come. It quickly revealed some very serious errors in their "off the cuff" pricing practices. This system will be a very serious profit builder for Gemini Signs. Congrats on a very good program. -- 2 months later -- The program does eveything you say it does in your advertising/web site. I only wish I had something similar when I was in the Burglar/Fire Alarm business. Took me close to a year of prodding to get the owners to "get with the program." They are now in the progress of buying all the add ons with the exception of the silk screen add on. Again a big Thank You to you for the obvious time and effort put into it's developement. Maybe over the next year they will migrate from 20 years of working for good wages to a company with a heavey +income at spread around.
