Part of the problem is that I won't be able to compete in this field without a specific software package that runs for around $65,000 these days. My company will not be buying that software at that price. If we find a comparable software package from an overseas supplier for $25,000 or so, we will probably but it.

HAHAHAHA, This is equivilent to saying that I want to find a new Ferrari for $25,000 so I can sell it for $50,000. Welcome to reality, perhaps you should focus on another product or service. If you do figure out how to get it at that price let Ferrari know how you did it so I can pick one up.

If the Chinese were making Ferraris, we probably could afford one. I for one can't wait until the 80% of people in country are making goods I want to trade for instead of rice. I have no use for rice.

I am. Which is why the $65,000 software is staying on the shelf. My company is too small to compete in that field with larger firms that already generate enough business to make the $65,000 purchase worthwhile.

I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before an alternative software package is developed. I've already come across a much cheaper package that does about 90% of what the expensive one does -- I'm just trying to figure out if my staff has the programming capability to do the other 10% at a reasonable cost.
