I'm expanding my business and planning on buying a plane, that reads
like more than I want to spend though. 1 seat and room for tools, or 2
seats and some tools is about it...

Link to details and pricing and I'll pass it along though...

Dang, Aaron -- several customers can hurt business enough to make you sell
your airplane?

These must've been some awesome customers!

I've had years where more than 80% of my income came from *1* customer
-- probably around a dozen of them. Low-end retail has *lots* of
customers, high-end retail has fewer, and contract software
development tends to have *very* few -- particularly for a one-person
outfit. Because one person simply can't do that many things at once.
Dunno what Aaron does, but I've known a lot of people dependent on
fairly few customers in various fields.

(And Aaron, best of luck! Hope you find some new customers quick.)

The cycle time for my customers is a minimum of 6 months, sometimes 18 months.
We have one contract we've been trying to get finalized since May 2004.

My company designs & builds esoteric diagnostic, monitoring, and control
equipment for the public utility sector; we also do contract R+D, contract
software development, and contract hardware development, generally for the
same area. Come see us at Distributech 2006 in Tampa!

My former employer had a total of 7 customers in 1990. Only 4 of those were
funding new products. Things got worse as time went on.
