hmm.  what timing.

we have a prospect that really likes the features of our software, but
he's balking at the green screen way of doing things.  

he's in florida and i'm in oklahoma, and i gave him a user id and
password, and walked him thru some of the sessions over the phone. 
after going thru it he was calmed down considerably, but he's going to
make a decision tomorrow or the next day. 

we use windows and web for the external users, but there has been almost
zero demand for the internal functions to be changed to windows by the
existing users.
