Just a thought on potential marketing of A5.
Back in '89 or '90 is when I got into database work, I started with a product called Formworx to fill in & print forms for my business.
Just when I got accustomed to that I found my PC, a Tandy from Radio Shack, came "PRE-LOADED" with something called Q&A. It was a dos database/wordprocessor from Symantec. As I tinkered I learned I liked it and began using it. It soon became a tool we used daily for a couple of years. A couple years later is when I found Alpha Four and have not looked back.
The key word here being "PRE-LOADED". I would have never found Q&A had it not already been on the PC it owned because I was a PC novice. No let me reiterate, I was a NOVICE. Because it was already there is how I became familiar with that product...it was right there in front of me. Maybe A5 can be sold with new machines somehow. Or, maybe a "light" version of A5V5 can be installed on new machines to give users a "taste" of its' capabilities.
What if a new user clicked on the A5 Icon on the new pc and a window popped-up displayed its' features...
Try A5 NOW! Continue on with this installation and you can immediately begin using this easy to use database software because it's packed with simple, ready to use applications. Use it's contact manager. Use it's recipe tool, blah...blah..blah.
Are you a power user? Check out these feature. (fill in the blanks)You will easily be able to accomplish the following ???, things that take programming in other database tools.
Continue with installation??? Click here...
Might be a simple way to get to people that don't know much about PC's and get them hooked on A5 and might also be a good way to tap into some of those MICROSOFT PRODUCTS ARE EVERYTHING people.
Thanks,
Mike
