Greeting to all Fusioneers!

Many members have emailed us their opinions on NetObjects Fusion 7. We are pleased to report that the new version is a hit! The new features are valuable, and the program is solid. This is good news to all loyal-Fusioneers who have been holding their breath and crossing their fingers ever since NetObjects ran out of money and were forced to end operations last September.

Website Pros took a big chance when they bought the Fusion code last winter, but it looks like their gamble is paying off. Reports from the sales-front are that Fusion is selling like hotcakes and their original shipment of software boxes sold-out in less than a month. The success of the version 7 release can be attributed to both the new Website Pro team and the top employees they salvaged from the NetObject wreckage. The two groups seem to be working together nicely.

At coolmaps.com we are tickled pink by the initial success of version 7. Admittedly, we were as scared as anyone last fall. Now, with things picking up, we are revving up our engines to meet the expanding Fusion market. Right now we have more resources, focus, and motivation than ever. We are working hard to create new components, update old ones, provide new services, and continue our world-renowned support.

coolmaps.com is thankful to all our members who have stuck with us these last 10 months. It is an amazing fact that our club membership stands at almost the same level it was last September. Membership and services renewal have remained constant. We appreciate your confidence and support.

Best Regards,
