My New Map Page for Player Technicians
By John A. Tuttle

Hi Everybody, I invite everyone to see my latest creation: a Map Page,
which pin-points my location. The question that may arise is: Isn't it
dangerous to give out your exact location?  My answer: Only if you're
under-insured or have something very valuable that is worth stealing.

Today I received a nice message from the folks at ComFind, one of over
400 search indexes.  They are geared for businesses.  Anyhow, they told
me about a new service they are offering which allows "surfers" to locate
any business, which is listed in ComFind, and give them a detailed map of
the location of same.  Long story made short, and a short story less
nauseating, I added a new feature to the Player Technicians Page which
will require the assistance of all listees.

To the point: if you are listed with ComFind, download the map showing
your location and send me URL that points to that MAP.  I will include
the link in the same manner as the example on my listing at:

It's the link that says, "Where We Work and Live."  I think this feature
will really help people find out exactly where you are located in
relationship to their home.  I think this will be extremely helpful in
circumstances where there are two or more technicians in the same state.
Not only that, they may avoid the embarrassing realization that what they
are looking for in right around the corner. ;-)

By the way, the Player Technicians Listing is growing at a much slower
rate than I figured it would.  My heartfelt feeling is that there are
either a lot less technicians than I thought, or the technicians are so
busy that they don't need or want more work.

Let me make one point very clear.  Since my involvement with the Internet
some eight months ago, profits have risen by over 35% and I have a
waiting list that's approaching two years in length.  Anybody who says
being on the Net is a waste of time or a frivolous endeavor is
completely out of touch with reality.  I have saved QRS and myself lots
of money by utilizing the E-Mail system and I have applied for a Patent
on the word "E-nvoice" which I use to sent bills to my roll customers.

If you aren't already on the fast-track to saving time and money for your
potential customers, I would strongly suggest investigating the avenues
that are already in place.  In roll sales alone (which require no
effort), I made over $500 in profit and I only get 20% of the
