I appreciate it, Brad. 

When the boss comes back in, I'll run it past him. It'd save me a ton of time.

Jay, 

Yes, that is ironic and odd. But not unheard of. 

All of our software is priced so low that most of our customers call it a 
"no brainer". :) Especially after it's installed. We're talking less 
than $600 a year for the licenses required. That's less than a few months 
of a cell phone bill. 

Maybe if you tried it out and showed them that you can have that part done 
in an hour or so they'd reconsider. We do offer free trials. The temp 
keys from our website are good for 10 days, but, you can contact me 
personally and I'm happy to provide keys for a longer timeframe. The 
reason it's 10 days is when it was 30, we had a few that would abuse the 
system and simply get new keys every 30 days instead of purchasing a 
license. This makes it easier to track those people down. 

I can tell you that there are countless hours into the product itself and 
if you want to tackle something like this by hand, well, that will be quite 
a bit of time on your part. 

I also have a customer using this now that I believe would be happy to give 
a reference as to how it works and especially the support behind the 
product. They used it so heavily that we have squeaked out most of the 
issues in a couple weeks of using it.
