This really looks interesting for when I've finished my book and have
customers and feedback; need to track my ideas to promote novel, deal
with
returns and resales. And yes, then finding a job and my third career!
vtiger looks interesting and if the docs are readable, then all the more
so. i'm familiar with everything but mysql. I know it, but am far from
expert. ...Hm.
thanks much for the insight!
