RELEASE OF PORTALMAGIC 2.0 ANNOUNCEMENT

PortalMagic is a 100% free Content Management System based on the
original IBUYSPY application with lots of enhancements geared towards
improving usability and layouting of website content.

You simply cannot ignore the enhancements this application has made to
the popular application.

Be one of the first to enjoy the benefits of using this brand new
portal application !

SUMMARY OF FEATURES:

1. Over 25 commonly-used modules already built it, among them:

Announcements
Contacts
Discussion
Documents
Events
FAQs
Feedback
HTML Document
Images
Links
Login Info
Keyword Search
Page Navigator
RSS Newsfeed
Survey
Text Editor
User-Defined Table
XML/XSL... and many others!

2. Rich Layouting Capabilities. PortalMagic supports both absolute and
relative positioning of modules (pixel precise control) similar to how
you position HTML elements.

3. You can independently maintain multiple portals using the same
database but different codebase. Yes you heard that right. Multiple
portals using the same codebase is a good thing. However, there's one
big advantage that is being overlooked--- the ability to create
subportals that have a unique look and feel (not to mention the
simplicity of administering the website).

4. Fully customizable modules: Pixel precise margining, shadows,
smooth edges, anchors, CSS etc.

5. Organizes your Web content into Pages and Page Groups, with support
for both horizontal and vertical navigation

6. Globally configurable date/time formats

7. On-the-spot file upload with built-in auditing.

Dear Bill Woodruff,

PortalMagic is 100% free. Buying the source license or unlimited machine
license is completely optional.

You get 100% of the features without expiration date on a single
machine.

Hope this enlightens you on this matter.

Best Regards,

OptimalASP.NET Staff

Dear Bill Woodruff,

PORTALMAGIC is a 100% free product. You get 100% of the features on a
single machine with NO EXPIRATION DATE.

You can buy a license if you want PortalMagic to run on more than one
machine. But even then, you can always get a free license on a new
machine if you chose to. In short, we go by the HONOR SYSTEM.

Sorry we can't provide you with a box. It keeps our prices low.
We apologize. We have this assumption that everyone is aware of the
concept of "DOWNLOADABLE SOFTWARE".

Hope we enlightened you on this matter.

Looks interesting, however :

1. this is not a free product, and it is deceptive to say it is. why not just
state your actual price which is quite reasonable for your non-source code
server license.

2. putting "imaginary boxes" on your website (those are your own words, not
mine) as product illustrations is just not a good idea : there's nothing wrong
with selling software over the net without a box, and what are you thinking that
people intelligent enough to use your product will be impressed by fantasy boxes
?

3. you need to have some links to actual websites that use your technology and
illustrate the rich set of features you describe in your message. Your site does
not illustrate those features, imho.

best, Bill Woodruff
