RHC: Well, just a thought, but when you bill monthly, the customer
sees little effect on his bank account or credit card and pretty much
forgets about that monitoring fee he's paying. Also, it evens out the
cash flow coming in so you know exactly how much you can expect each
month. And service and installations are gravy on top of it. And with
assured, monthly payments, there are NO reminders needed, other than
when his credit card needs to be updated.

But I still like your reminder....:)))
