No - we've developed it ourselves. It's all our own code. Runs on several platforms, although we prefer Unix for the speed. A 10 megabyte sales report which takes an NT network about 24 minutes can be done in Unix in 14 seconds.
We're even better than Timberline - to the point where our chief competitor finally surrendered to the inevitable and is becoming a distributor.
Have you worked in this field?

This job includes scheduling 50 roving symposia a year and overseeing the publication of a monthly newsletter to 3,000 recipeints. The last job was more fun. I set up and adminstered about 50 live internet webcasts on cancer to both consumers and physicians, during a 4 month period. I got to talk to Lance Armstrong and had him as a participant. These programs are still archived if anyone is interested. The consumer site is at www.alphacancer.com and the professional site at www.alphaoncology.com

I'm a VP/Business Analyst for a major US Bank that used to be based on San Francisco, but is now based in Charlotte... guess which one! 
I telecommute to my office in Pleasant Hill, CA from my home in AZ, but they make me come to the office every month or so. Spent the last few years travelling, doing training, and getting business requirements for applications. Now, I'm involved in projects working on a NCR/Teradata platform.
Yes, just another techno-geek... but a self-taught one.

I own and operate a small independent insurance agency founded by my grandfather in 1923. Gramps retired in 1977 and passed away in 1987 at age 101. Dad joined the agency in 1949, and retired in 1993. In 1979 I went to help out for a week while Dad was on vacation. 21 years later I'm still here ! If I follow in Gramp's footsteps, I get to retire in 2047.
