<ben> "Hi, I'm Ben Goodger, inventor of the revolutionary WizardManager. I'd
like to spend a few moments telling you how you can enhance your wizards by
using WizardManager. WizardManager provides a default framework for building
application wizards. WizardManager simplifies this usually tedious task by
providing the mechanism to persist data between pages, and the default handlers
for wizard navigation. All you need to do is to provide your content and your
finish handlers! Its as easy as that. Let's speak to some of our delighted
customers."

<ben> "Hi there, I believe you're the Create Profile Wizard?"
<CPW> "Yes, I am"
<ben> "I hear you've had a lot of bad experiences with proprietary, custom
wizard jobs, and that you recently upgraded to WizardManager?"
<CPW> "That's exactly right, Ben."
<ben> "So, how's it shaping up?"
<CPW> "Well, aside from some weird bit rotting problems that I'm sure aren't
WizardManager's fault.. *cough*, absolutely great! I would never have believed
it. In fact, I still don't believe it."
<ben> "You still don't believe it. Heh."

<ben> "And now we move on to PrefWindow, who will be launching soon. Hi,
PrefWindow."
<CPW> "Hi Ben, and I just wanted to say 'thanks for giving me
WidgetStateManager'"
<ben> "Yes, PrefWindow. Folks, WidgetStateManager is the heart of WizardManager,
and its now the heart of the new prefs. What better endorsement could you
possibly want?"

<ben> "And now its time to give the folks at home a chance to buy. For more
information on WizardManager and WidgetStateManager, see the
http://www.mozilla.org/xpapps/components/ folder."
