You have lists on lists of what is left to do. But you only have so much time left.

There is success in everything, if you are willing to look for it.

Paying for the Software Basics

Software that is stable. Software that delivers on the features that you downloaded it for. Software that is simple and intuitive to use. Do the core features work from release to release?
