Thanks Mike, I was pretty stupid being on that ladder without someone holding it - if I wasn't such a heathy "nut" at my age (late 50's), I suspect it would have been much much worse. It would have been a 911 call for most people my age I am sure.

The fall was like something you see in the movies. I was on a ladder leaning on a building, and I was about 8 feet off the ground. All of a sudden, it begin to slip backwards - so I had a choice of letting it slip back - at which point I figured it would split my head wide open as it was a metal roof. Or, 2nd option to just to bail sideways off the ladder and hit the ground on my left side. So, I did the 2nd option and hit the ground but didn't hit any rocks or stones, and there were a lot in that area. Funny thing is, this seemed like I had 30 minutes to figure and plan how to bail, but it was only like 5 seconds. Wierd.

At first I just shook the pain off and it begin to get better. Then, couple months later I fell again on the same shoulder by slipping on the wet steps of a camper. That caused it to really flare up again even more. The real Issue was I had a bone spur that hit a muscle and caused tremendous pain over time (but no roto cuff damage). A $10,000+ arthroscopic surgery and 2 months of physical therapay fixed it, so I blessed to be back to almost 100%.

I always felt before like I could beat any pain, but after this I can see thats not the case...:)

>Hey Mel, sorry to hear about the accident and surgery but glad to hear you are almost all the way back.

>>Hi Thomas, since I can't speak to Servoy pricing as I am in no way tied to them other than having a paid developers license/renewal - I could perhaps be giving inacurate information out about their pricing and terms - and I didn't think that would be what I should do in an open forumn.

>>But the PM just included the name of my Servoy Sales rep and his contact information. I will provide you his name by PM if you wish. There was nothing else special in the PM, other than my health issue this past year - I fell off a ladder and hurt my shoulder, had surgery, I back to 99.9% of where I was before the fall.

>>I will say this, anyone who has concern(s) or does not understand Servoy pricing should contact the company directly for clarification and discussions about it.

>>>Why PM ?
>>>Ken is supporting it here quite openly -
>>>The reports I have heard have more variation than expected:
>>>from praise over indifference to disappointment,
>>>and no easy to spot correlation with programmer skill,
>>>expectations, habits and so on.

>>>I will do some basic calisthenics in it soon just to get a better picture.
