Todd Day, CEO, Brainfoodmedia - “Insanely great and very cool! I still won't part with my Mac though. Push this and let's get to the next level on the Internet.”
Steve Jolly, President, Impact (Web design company) – Jolly recently used Personable.com’s online services to access Microsoft FrontPage. He was redesigning a Web site for Huddle House, a restaurant company in Atlanta, whose site was designed with FrontPage. It would have cost about $600 to buy FrontPage, but Jolly was able to rent the application from Personable.com for $14.95 for one month. “There are a lot of applications that I own but don’t use on a regular basis,” Jolly says. “If I could rent them only when needed and then keep the 15 (applications) I use all the time, I would.”
Tim Chase, Small Business Owner - "When I signed up for my Personable apps, I chose the Microsoft Office Small Business version. I really didn't need PowerPoint or the other applications included with some of the other versions. Well, last week I had to do a presentation for one of my law school classes. I decided a couple of days prior to the presentation that I should probably do a few PowerPoint slides. No problem. The next time I logged on to my Personable account, I chose to start using PowerPoint. For less than $8, I created my presentation. I didn't have to go out and buy anything, download anything, or clutter up my hard drive with a program I would rarely use.”
John from Miami, FL - "After doing days of research on the quality of application service providers to deliver some of our company's software via the web, I found Personable.com, Inc. to be the best. One of the main reasons that I felt this way was because their sales people were straightforward and easy to deal with. With other companies, I had to run around in circles until I got the details that I needed out of them. Personable.com was also able to beat everyone else's pricing hands down across a variety of applications!"

South Bend Tribune, June 26, 2000 - “This week I tried out Personable.com, which calls itself ‘the future of software.’ It just might be that…With Personable.com, an ancient 486 performs just as well as a brand new Pentium III.”
C/NET, June 19, 2000 - “Suppose a company needs Microsoft Office 2000 for 50 workers for a one-month project.
