|
|
| What is the cost of NoteSmith maintenance each year? |

under Windows95, 98, ME,

required? |

|
|
| How is my data stored? |
In FoxPro dbf files, which are fully
compatible with Microsoft Office |
|
|
| How
can you price this program so reasonably? |
Why is everyone else so expensive? |
|
|
| Why is even your network
version so reasonable? |
NoteSmith
was written for networks and simplified for single users,
rather than the other way around. |
