Thank you, thank you, thank you!
3) Last SAD NOTE:
Someone "email@hidden" who was a subscriber on AOL decided
to report the InfoManager as SPAM. As rediculous as that may seem,
it worked. A number of AOL users have written to ask why they no longer
get InfoManager since mid October. Well, that jerk on AOL is why.
Please, could ONE user on AOL send me a little note to say you got this,
I would certainly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Fred

13 Quotes: What would Steve say?
You can't just ask customers what they want and then
try to give that to them.
By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.
Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes.
It is best to admit them quickly, and
get on with improving your other innovations
Steve Jobs
