Default "OnLine" is not the same

A few months ago I did some feelers on offering this on my website I'm building, http://www.roseburgonline.com

and I instantly discovered the HUNGRY INTEREST and "Magic" is NOT present offering the "Town On Disk" concept OnLine.

There's something psychologically POWERFUL about a business owner being the ONLY (plumber, electrician, roofer...etc) locked into a Floppy or CD and the disk is MAILED to potential Residents.

Offering the same thing "OnLine" would NOT command the prices I can get by placing the program PHYSICALLY onto a Disk.

The Internet is TOO BIG...too vast. When I hand a potential advertiser a piece of plastic and tell him his ad will be contained within this piece of material....it's appears MORE VALUABLE.

That's been my experience anyway.
