Wow, writing software is hard :p

As englebart pointed out you licence software not sell it. There are a number of business models that are available today that simply were not available in the 90s. You need to pick the right one for your product. No I don't blame anyone else, I made some spectacularly bad decisions and spent a number of years paying for them. Get a good business partner (if you aren't a business man, good luck with that!). Never bullshit to yourself about the health of your business.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
I have found a good business partner, and a good marketing guy too. Thanks for the licence thing too. I had planned on selling the program, but will look at the licence very carefully. I really do understand about the "spectacularly bad decisions (SBD)." I'm still paying for them. Mine were more personal financial rather than business, but still SBDs. That is why I'm asking questions now, rather than after a whole bunch of SBDs. I'm trying to minimize those! Again, Thanks!

Yes, but then it ends up on Google's StreetView! And trust me, no one wants that!

No kidding! Several years ago I cleared some trees and branches from our yard. I put them in front of our house for our garbage company to pickup. When I came home at the end of the day I was surprised to see my debris had not been picked up. I was even more surprised to see the debris strewn around the front of the yard, clearly not the way I left it for the garbage pickup. I always wondered what happened to my trees that day. Years later when I discovered the Google streetview, my mystery was solved. Some neighborhood kids had decided to make a fort out of it and play: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3500/4564029294_35749e5bbc_o.jpg[^] [I sure wish I could figure out how to embed an img tag in this post.] Can you imagine the luck? Someone just driving by taking pictures while you are up to no good. I was never even mad about it. If I could identify the kids, I would show it to them and their parents as a lark!
