- I am the developer of Mum's the Word Plus, landscape and garden design
- software for the Mac, which has a small but growing following. I
- publish this product through Terrace Software of which I am the
- president and chief cook and bottle washer. I have some great ideas
- for enhancing this product and developing some other products but am
- short on funds, business acumen, time, marketing skills, etc. Any help
- that Apple or any other company or individual can offer would be
- immensely appreciated.
-
- I know, or know of, quite a few other female Mac programmers and
- product developers. I think there is more a dearth of female
- programmers who blow there own horn or are in positions of high
- visibility, than a shortage of women with programming skills, Mac or
- otherwise.

- Another MacWizardess,
