To Whom It May Concern;

I have worked with Byte Butler, and with Paul Michael Dekker in particular, on several different projects over the past three years.

I am consistently impressed by Mr. Dekker's knowledge of the computer software, the computer industry, and the Internet in particular. In fact, it was Mr. Dekker who first explained to me why the World Wide Web was about to explode as a marketing tool and communications device. This was several years ago, around the time I first met him.

His comments allowed The Animated Software Company to make the business decisions necessary to put in place an active Internet presence which in less than 15 months acheived over half a million web pages transferred to an estimated 100,000 visitors. We are very happy with the results of his having shared his insight and knowledge with us.

We recommend Mr. Dekker highly in any capacity.

Thank you,
Russell Hoffman
