We expect to show a 30% economy with WebCat ... but ... when it comes to politics, the reduction in price really isn't the issue.As I often hear from IT, Nobody ever got fired for hiring IBM or MicrosoftThe real issue is the lack of confidence in hiring a developer that uses a system that very few people have heard of, despite the capabilities.It also doesn't make it any easier that I cannot show any comparisons with features and performance between WebCat and Cold Fusion, ASP, or Oracle. Since I don't have any experience with the other languages, all my WebCat experience doesn't do much for drawing parallels.:-(> FWIW, the local MLS here just bought software and a programmer to handle a > 20k record > database in SQL to the tune of a MILLION dollars. > > hopefully, this new version can export a F'ing apostrophe!! the current one > gives us a > bunch of words like 'you ll' What can you do? people are stupid.
