Been there. At one point we made a pretty spiffy network appliance that included free support. (On the theory that it was also rock solid, so there wouldn't be any.) Cisco would charge you out the nose for support. We got a lot of expe

I didn't mean to convey an opinion on legalization, just to give a flavor of how laws get made. If asked, I'd say check the states that allow midwifes from one of the national accreditors and see how it's going. If it isn&#x2
