I remember dialing up to the local university with Procomm and a blistering fast 1200 baud modem, logging in, and using Archie (later replaced with a much improved Veronica) to 'surf' the 'web'. One had to telnet between systems just to check mail. Ascii art was the extent of images [A porn picture looked a lot like this back then --> (_._) ] . Thanks for the memories. I'm an Internet old fart, and I'm just 42. Sigh....... We've come a long way baby. Darcy Moen http://www.customerloyaltynetwork.com Boy, we are old Internet geeks.

HA!!! What was that program we used for mail? PINE I think. We have come a long way, you are right about that. Sometimes, I miss having that eternal busy signal, getting booted after two hours of connection time, using the 5 1/4 inch floppy as a mini fan and attempting to decipher pics from ASCII characters.

You left out the extras a person that truly follows the code does and they think the client doesn't notice. 1. Stays up until early morning to complete a detail the customer would never notice or it would not impact the peformance. I guess that's like #6 2. Takes her work on vacation or considers her work part of her daily life. 3. Conforms to the customers schedule sacrificing their own. 4. Is willing to make the customer part of the development team and teach then all the stuff it took years to learn so they can be useful. 5. Gives the customer 100 ways to communicate their needs. 6. Develops a atmosphere of trust and offers information on SEO, Adsense, photoshop lesson's, and many other tools to help the customer. 7. Writes an blog about Ethics knowing there are very few Website developers out there that can touch this level of service. We know, my wife and I have looked and God doesn't make a mistake when he makes the connection. Listen, we know many of you think we are just pumping Xprtcreative up. If you consider that the truth is pumping it up, then so be it. Even if my E-commerce fails (it's not because of the design)we know we gave it our best shot for what we were willing to invest. It's just more work than we ever realized. It's up to us now. We learned so much and made a great friends doing it. Thanks Jenn and thanks to all your staff. Hope we can meet someday.

It's always nice to hear from an expert business advisor that your core ideas are solid, ay? (It is quite strategic to add to my Code that I don't have to wear closed-toed shoes if I don't wanna? I think it got lost with the "no hose required in 85+ degree weather" decree.) Nice keywords - heh heh! You were flagged as SPAM but I unflagged you. :) Chris,

Great subject, and great reminiscences of a bygone era (256Mb hard drive, indeed).

Your Code of Ethics is a superb example of creating competitive advantage. You should incorporate it as a key component of your overall business strategy.

If I was your business advisor, that’s just part of what I would be recommending for you to include in your strategic business plan and your marketing plan.

Love your work, I’m already a subscriber, keep it up!
