Let me know if you're interested, just realize that we won't be able to start until later this week or possibly next week -- because we already have two other webdna projects to finish for other clients before we can start any new work.

Hi Paul, I already explained the general concept pretty well I believe. If you want to hire my programmers to do it for you, we charge $10 per hour. Let me know if you're interested, just realize that we won't be able to start until later this week or possibly next week -- because we already have two other webdna projects to finish for other clients before we can start any new work.
