A banker friend of the deceased lawyer decides to try the trick for himself. He figures the problem was that fiat currency is banned in heaven.
He instructs his wife to sell everything he has and buy gold with it.
Eventually he dies, grabs the gold on his way up, and makes it into heaven. As he aproaches the pearly gates with his precious metal, St. Peter sees what he's carrying and turns around in excitement, shouting, "I finally found someone to fix the road for us!"

Yeah; he seemed sold on a visual explanation/didn't seem to think anything less then the app would do is why i suggested a video. But if text can be done, that would be ideal.

Its not about convenience, it's about the up-front cost to determine if the information is even worth taking a closer look at. With social media everyone is pretty much information overloaded, so anything that takes to long to determine its value just gets written off by default, simply because of the competition for attention.

if you want more people to learn about this you should make a youtube or slideshow demoing the simulators, maybe even explaining what they are supposed to show. Not many people are going to download and run software just to hear what you have to say.
