My New Map Page for Player Technicians
By John A. Tuttle
Hi Everybody, I invite everyone to see my latest creation: a Map Page, which pin-points my location. The question that may arise is: Isn't it dangerous to give out your exact location? My answer: Only if you're under-insured or have something very valuable that is worth stealing.
Today I received a nice message from the folks at ComFind, one of over 400 search indexes. They are geared for businesses. Anyhow, they told me about a new service they are offering which allows "surfers" to locate any business, which is listed in ComFind, and give them a detailed map of the location of same. Long story made short, and a short story less nauseating, I added a new feature to the Player Technicians Page which will require the assistance of all listees.

Let me make one point very clear. Since my involvement with the Internet some eight months ago, profits have risen by over 35% and I have a waiting list that's approaching two years in length. Anybody who says being on the Net is a waste of time or a frivolous endeavor is completely out of touch with reality. I have saved QRS and myself lots of money by utilizing the E-Mail system and I have applied for a Patent on the word "E-nvoice" which I use to sent bills to my roll customers.
If you aren't already on the fast-track to saving time and money for your potential customers, I would strongly suggest investigating the avenues that are already in place. In roll sales alone (which require no effort), I made over $500 in profit and I only get 20% of the
