tensegrityAh, the dreaded state selection list. It sounds like such an easy and natural solution. You need to pick a state, so present a list of states to select from. Done!
So first you ask, is this just for domestic U.S. use, and they say yes and breathe a sigh of relief, because this makes things easier. Fifty states plus, yes, the District of Columbia. All set.
Then you ask whether the software might ever be used in Puerto Rico, and the smiles go away. Don't ask about the Virgin Islands or Guam or other territories because they'll never believe that their application will be used in those places. But Puerto Rico? That makes them stop and think.
