I never cease to be amazed by how international the world has become - with travel from country to country being the norm. "If it's Tuesday, it must be Belgium". Yet at the same time, there are laggards and at times the USA seems to have more than it fair share of these. Perhaps that's just because the USA is such a large country that people can travel thousands of miles and still not be "international".

Three cases arose yesterday ... some problems in completing a web form (on the site of an international shipper!) which wouldn't accept our UK phone number ... questions about which state "Ireland" is in ... and a nearly-completed course order which turned out to be "well over my budget. I'm not ready to spend all this money now", all the more amazing because our site very carefully adds in prices in US Dollars when visitors arrive from a USA based IP address.

OK - grouch over. My wife's from the USA, my daughter-in-law is from South Africa. We have friends and customers from all over the world and we love it! I'll be in England, Wales and Ireland later this month, the same three countries plus Italy, Turkey and a couple of others in October.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
