Hello friend. Thank you for coming back to check on things. I am Randy's widow. I'm a nurse, not a computer person, so I'm sort of flying blind, but I think I want to find someone who can change it from its current Visual Basic and Access to Java so it could possibly become a Facebook game. When it was written in 1998-1999, the internet was still young and people were using dial-up connectivity, so Randy built it with the mindset that it had to have a very low bandwidth requirement. I'm wondering if now it could be all be done on the server side? My problem is that I don't have money to just hire a programmer--or maybe it needs a team of programmers. (I hope not.) I wish I had a sense of how much it's going to cost to do the conversion, then I could do better planning. If it will involve big bucks, Eric (Randy's and my son, now 18) and I have discussed the possibility of trying Kickstarter or another crowd funding source. Please let us know if you have any suggestions or advice. We would be very grateful.
Lyn
