Before spending a lot of time with this - have you thought out your customer acquisition strategy? At such low price points Adwords will be very expensive. How are the others in space doing promotions?

The one command I remember was the most powerful command of the Z80:

LDIR (LoaD Increment Repeat)...aka Block Move in 1 instruction.

The IX, IY registers with index registers were cool too.

I'm showing my age...I was 12 when I was hacking Z80 assembly on my TRS-80

BoxBe is a startup you should look at...they started with this idea, but according to a few friends of mine that use it no one has ever bothered to pay them for their attention. As a revenue generating business model, it seems thats spammers don't pay!

btw - Goodmail has signed up ISP customers to get mailers to pay a couple of cents per message to "guarantee" the delivery of the message. To me seems like a protection racket of corp. customers by the ISP and Goodmail.

Not all people are motivated by money...esp. if it's small chunks of money.

Better take care of this asap. I've got medial epicondylitis, better known as golfer's elbow from typing to much. I've tried everything to get rid of it including 4 months of PT, but it always comes back. It sucks. I'll try anything at this point.

I used to work for Leading Edge...they owned the Elephant Brand. It was my first job and I couldn't believe they actually paid me to work there!

Webinnovators is pretty good, but it's every 2 months TechCocktail

Any recommendation on a design firm? How much should you expect to pay?

Are they doing the same thing or something similar? The possibility of confusion exists...if you have copyrights on your name and predate them you might have a case (if you decide to spend the money on lawyers). Cheapest way out of it is find a new name IMHO.

Where are you located? You can give my patent atty (and friend) a call, I've used him for 10+ years and done at least 10 applications with him. His name is David Powsner with Nutter, McCellan in Boston.(http://www.nutter.com/attorneys.php?AttorneyID=110). Great guy, friendly and very knowledgeable. If you do email him, tell him chandra referred you.

I wouldn't give up until you've tried everything you possibly can to make it a success.
