Default Already did it...

Hey Marg....when "Web Compilers" first came out in 1995 (a program that would compile HTML pages on your hard drive and create an EXE file which could be copied to a floppy. Then, when you double-clicked on the exe file, the program opened in the floppy drive) I put together a "Magic Floppy" of my Town...with ads of local businesses. I got 50 businesses to participate for $500 each. I made up 1,000 floppies and had the Chamber send them to inquiries.

This is mentioned in my Midas Report and I introduced it at Bill Myer's ProfitMaker Seminar in 1996.

It's a great concept AND good way to make money from local biz. I did it for 2 years. Although nowadays you can use CD's to get more stuff on.

If you like, I can email you one of my "Magic Floppies". It will take a while to download but let me know if you'd like to see one.

Thanks....Don Alm
