As the consultant list on www.minivend.com is rather short, I like to
encourage persons who feels comfortable enough to announce their
services for MV3.x to me either here, on the official consultant list
or in private mail including prices, references and some "good reasons"
why you think that your services are worth the money you intend to
charge. 

Thank you very much for your support.
