texte = In an ideal world, yes...but SM has already proven that they don't have time or staff to provide adequate support...so how do they take on a heavier load? I would think that if they can afford the development staff, they should be able to afford the support staff. They have chosen different. Why? There's a method to their madness, meanwhile, we all just keep bitchin about it, but nobody seems to be leaving. I have too much time and money invested in the product to drop out so quickly...but my eyes are open.-----Original Message----- From: WebCatalog Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On Behalf Of Jeff Logan Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2000 11:58 AM To: WebCatalog Talk Subject: Smith Micro - no competition Big deal if Smith Micro wants to do ecommerce business along with the rest of us.
