Businesses with no computers still exist that's for sure Steve. There are still so many small businesses operating on their ISP's hosting space too. We were contacted the other week by a guy runnig an HTML site that hasn't been updated since 1998, operating on an ISP hosting account by Earthlink Needless to say, I'm glad he's moving forward to the web with a reservation system and database. At the same time, he said he didn't want to become too well known as he works crazy hours as it is and doesn't want too many people to know about him, but still allow existing customers to make reservations with him online (a heating and air conditioning company).

It's so nice to see people still operating "business as usual" for such a long time, and like he said, he just wants a business presence online and not much more. Paying an absurd amount for hosting ($20/month for 10MB of space), so we'll be happy to get that rate down a little lower for him too!

Money is out there if people look, but it does take a little effort to get them in the door at times, but that's what sales is all about
