Paid around $700 for my copy of Marketing Pro. About 10-15% of the
addresses were out of date but I spose you get that.  I've generated a
sizeable chunk of business with it, as well as tracking down a couple of
people who thought their anonymity was guaranteed :) Betcha THAT hurt,
sunshine - nothing like an early morning knock to wake you up (AND I used
the doorbell!).

BTW does anyone know how DTMS' court battle with telstra ended  up?
