Sounds like a nice new job for Paul.

LH: Paul, From a guy who's most recent college degree is in business, I
say, "Way to go! Finally! And, what took you so long?" I hope everyone
realizes what great news this is. This is what I have been hoping to hear
for some time to assure the survival of MOTM. The new higher prices were
needed to support this approach.

If people think about it, they will understand that progress has been
hampered by having the # 1 employee and designer doing work that could be
assigned to someone at a reasonable per-hour rate so that Paul can focus on
more worthwhile tasks.

Congratulations on reaching the point where you could make this move. More
reasonable delivery times will be welcome by us all.

Now, in a similar fashion, Dave and I will be looking to out source some
Stooge work. Anybody want to work like a slave at a drill press for 25 cents
an hour. :-)
