Of course... sorry folks...

I sell software tools ( IE toolbars, custom Office tabs, IE task panes,
stand alone applications ) that are used primarily in marketing campaigns
that utilize videos. The "big" product is currently the PVU ... personal
video uploader ... that in two user clicks allows them to upload a video
online in a custom HTML template and generates a link for them to include in
to their email. The fancier version will allow the importation of
already-uploaded  Youtube, AOLVideo and other video services to "pull" the
video into the template for them. The uber version does all that and also
will take xls lists of email addresses and will automatically send the mail
for you from within the toolbar or app. My other products are subsets of
these three.

100 bucks is fair, if it's a full-blown accounting package, then it is way

I think Michael Madigan asked a great question.  A bit of background would
be helpful for our esteemed colleagues at least seem to be enlightened
before they begin to pick your flesh & bones apart <g>...
