- Yes, it does cost time and money, but not more than $20 per month.
- In most cases this fee will pay for itself with just one additional customer.
- Here is a similar idea: One person maintains an archive and each vendor
- pays a fraction of maintainance costs. Each vendor can post to c.s.n.a
- something like this:
-
- To get the pricing info on ProductName
- Send e-mail to archive@domainname.com /*same for all vendors*/
- with the subject: info on ProductName /*ProductName different for all
- vendors*/
- Vendors could then change the info document by sending it
- to archive@domainname.com
- with the subject: change info on ProductName password
-
-
- All that the maintainer has to do is to write the archive
- software and pay for the e-mail account. ($15/month at starconn.com)
-
- I am sure many vendors will subscribe to this service. As I said before,
- the fee will pay for itself with one additional customer.
