Another issue is that word fast, which can be interpreted in so many ways...our competitors seem to think that any turnaround time in the 1-2 second range is fast, whereas we consider 10-20 milliseconds to be fast. One is fast for hobbyists; the other is fast for professionals.There is no reason Apple webmasters should not know about WebCatalog -- we have demonstrated it to them (in large private meeting halls dedicated to showing new technology to Apple employees) on numerous occasions. We are pleased, however, with our name recognition when it comes to eCommerce -- we are getting results exponentially better than last year.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
