Viability

[Clyde Hollinger]

Martin,

150 customers in seven months sounds pretty respectable to me.  When I went
from part-time to fulltime in 1992 I already had a customer base of about
300, and it took me several more years to really become fully scheduled.
I'd count on about five years.

Regards,
Clyde
