Jeff, a product that wasnt even available back in the day when Frank
wrote his book is ITC 100. It has been discussed at length on the list,
at no charge for the information, and rather than pimping myself or what
I've written I'll just point you in the direction of the ABSOLUTELY FREE
archives..check out what many others have to say about the product. Drop
Marcia Selsor a line and ask her. I use it to but don't have the heavy
weight credentials of some of the others on the list who are more than
happy to answer any and all quesitons for FREE.
Take a hint Frank
Hope this helps
