I’ve been working with HBI for 18 years now, and I’m happy to call the people there friends as well as clients. They’ve been supportive of Irish Rose and have really helped me to build the kind of business I wanted to build. It’s been a great pleasure to watch their success. They exemplify what is best about rural businesses. Well deserved!

I finally found a great tool to make that job easier. Detagger, from JafSoft Limited costs less than $30 and has an incredible array of configuration options to get the output files you need. In the one case where I had some difficulty, the developer provided an almost immediate response and fix, on the weekend no less. You can pick up an evaluation copy or buy a copy at the JafSoft web site at www.jafsoft.com/detagger/html-to-text.html.
