Kolja,

Now you bring up another interesting factor: are we interested in small
business, or big business, or both? Are our distributors interested in
small business, big business, or both?

I think everyone would say they are interested in ALL business, but...

Not so much different than when you go to a store, buy one can of
Coca-Cola, and then ask for a discount, and help with your other bags as
you leave the store.....not to mention you would like it a little
colder, please.

Do you go to the store often? Is your business worth it? Are they
losing money for such a small service? Serious questions.

Small business is not afraid to innovate, and sometimes wildly
suceeds(or at least they do here in Silicon Valley on occasion).

I remember a paper by a certain tiny company on networking in San
Francisco in 1988 that was laughed at by the attendees of the conference
(it was Cisco -- who is laughing now?).
