Hi All,

AfFirst the good news: after some study I found that PayPal is still the cheapest. When having difficulties because of email account that is considered suspicious (like @zwallet.com, @msn.com, @hotmail) then take a free yahoo, moomia or refercentral email adress and you won't have that problem. Further news is that for payment you don't have to take a (Free) account at PayPal. My account is such that you can directly pay, using a credit card. I have to pay a relatively small fee to receive such payments, so that will work.

Then also some sad news:
1. My partner, Gert Jan, is ill; he has the flue. Moreover MS doesn't support its old Win98 and ME operating systems in any ways. The documentation is bad or missing or inconsistent. We seek ideas for solution of Win98 compatibility problems on developer forums, but nobody answers. Unfortunately also nobody replies on the Newsletter that my friend Kenneth has sent out. Compared with the results of market research our 'installed base of customers' is disappointingly low. Last week I sent out the upgrade, version 1.10 to our customers. I hope for everybody that this version won't have to be the final version. However even if it isn't, I expected that development progress will be reduced. Since the release I have been working for the tool: testing, handling emails, creating FAQ and tutorial pages, etc. almost every evening until after midnight. (Joan knows)
This all resulted into too much stress. So I will take it easier now.
And to be honest I am seriously thinking about raising the price of the tool in 2005 to some extent. So people have time to purchase the tool for the modest fee until after Christmas.
