After over 10 years of continued, exclusive operation we decided to suspend our contract with RegNow (Digital River). RegNow was the software industry's premier registration commerce provider founded in 1999. All Digital River (NASDAQ: DRIV) services, including but not limited to RegNow, share*it!, SWREG, and eSellerate, are no longer recommended as reliable e-commerce providers. There are innovative alternatives designed to overcome ease of use, customer service, and cost issues that have plagued software e-commerce companies for years.

15 years in the life. A continuity is to be found in the dimension of time. Anniversaries are of course shot through with retrospection and nostalgia, and grand anniversaries of the kind we are marking in 2010 seem at first sight to give particular priority to the past over the present and the future. Yet the creative thinking that Argentum exists to encourage is a future-driven business: from its vantage point in the present, such thinking, irrespective of the business, looks forward into a world of possibility. We hope that Argentum is able to congratulate itself on its future as well as its past. Now is the moment for us to project ourselves into the next five years.

This year, in October, 2010, we're celebrating:

  • 15 years of Argentum Corporation.
  • 15 years of MyFiles™ and Coolbase™ (Infophilia™).
  • 10 years of Argentum™ Backup.
