texte = for the 25th time (literally!) today, web catalog ACGI for the mac has self quit, launched itself again, and popped up a damn serial number protection screen in front of my shoppers! on top of that, given heavy traffic (which is supposed to be a good thing) a lousy replace function locks up the entire database that tracks site preferences because WebCatalog doesn't seem to be able to do record locking. I've had over 7000 visitors today, but only 123 orders (given an average day ratio, I should have had over 350 orders) mostly because this site slows to a damn crawl under any real traffic. This week, I'm installing an NT server. I give it a week, if it doesn't improve, I declare Webcatalog completely incapable for medium to large sites, and I'm gone. Brian B.
