07 E-Signatures are becoming the defacto means of authentication -- are you ready?
If you're in business a business that requires clients signing on the dotted line, you certainly should be familiar with e-signatures. Realtors, contractors, caterers, concierge, travel, and many other businesses can rely on MobileEndorse 1.0 for iOS devices. This is a ground-breaking new mobile solution for E-Signature with ERM integration. MobileEndorse is the free-to-use, free-to-sign App for E-Signatures on documents. Users can sign or request signatures from other users, and retrieve the signed document for archive.

08 FileMaker might betting a little bit easier to use. Whew!
I still use Filemaker. I use it a lot. In fact, my FileMaker article "digester" formats and exports perfect html pages for my sites 60-Seconds.com, Graphic-Design.com and UGNN.com. I've used it since the very first File Maker from Forethought in 1986. The only database product that was easier was HyperCard. But with the advent of the internet, and PHP, FileMaker spun out of Claris off on its own, and at that point, FileMaker began to suck really bad. Today, it's so complex and cryptic you have to hire a developer to tweak it. That's why my only new changes and developments come from older versions, tweaked in FileMaker 4 on a Tiger equipped, stand-by, backup Mac. If you plan to get the most out of FileMaker today, however, and you don't have a doctorate in computer sciences, then you'll need InspectorPro.

10 Quotes: Pickford, Russell, O'Connor and Ford
"If you have made mistakes, even serious ones,
there is always another chance for you.
What we call failure is not the falling down
but the staying down."
- Mary Pickford
"Everything is vague to a degree
you do not realize till you have tried to make it precise."
- Bertrand Russell
