Thanks to everyone who stopped by the FileMaker booth at FETC and took some time to chat with us. I was particularly pleased to see the interest in ProofSupport. We heard both from visitors to the booth and from the FileMaker folks that there is a need for top level support and advice that goes beyond the technical support that FileMaker is able to offer themselves.

We are very pleased to announce the immediate availability of our new ProofSupport program--unambiguous, professional support for your FileMaker Pro solutions.

We had a great turnout to the FileMaker webinar, "Tapping FM9 for Personalized Communications" this past Tuesday. Checkout the recording (Webex) at http://filemakerevents.webex.com. Many thanks for the great feedback and questions.

Proof is at Devcon2007 this year. Be sure to say hello if you catch us roaming the halls.
