NETBOOKS BECOMES WORKINGPOINT

A couple of years ago, Ridgely Evers, who had modest success by writing a program called QuickBooks, decided to see if he could write another hit. He produced NetBooks. But unfortunately, that term has been taken over by the hardware set. Evers left a few months ago and during the summer the company announced it had spent much of the last year rewriting the package, whose goal is still to provide online billing and invoicing, giving it a new interface. However, until the last two or so weeks, the company was still called NetBooks and its URL was www.netbooks.net. Now, WorkingPoint is both the company and product name and the simple URL is www.workingpoint.com. Pricing also changed with the Web site declaring "Your First User Is Free Forever". I'm not quite sure how much money there is to be made at what seems like dot-com-era pricing. Two users are $10 per month and the highest level, 10 users, is priced at $80 monthly for the lot. But the company promises there are no hidden extra fees. Still, what I hear ringing in my head is the oft-repeated statement by Intuit CEO Brad Smith that "Free isn't Free." Hmmm.
