Only the other day I was thinking if only I could write a program that everybody needs, and road signs programs is what everyone needs, then I could gain a lot from it. I know someone who wrote a program that many banks use, and someone else who made a program for opticians. Good business to be in

You'll probably get nowhere on the road signs thing, sorry to say. There are lots of banks and opticians which are separate practices - so you can sell to lots of different companies. The only people with road signs are the Highways Agency, and they require ISO9000 certification for their software - which is a complete bitch - and takes a team of people just to do the paperwork for.

As for the web messenger, that looks way cool. I tried it now, but I'm on a modem and downloading SP2 in the background, so it wasn't fun and I managed to get signed out repeatedly. Anyway, its definately getting a bookmark - thanks!
