I have a question to you, my dear friend: Would you buy a BMW with its hood welded shut? > Did you fall for the dumb scam of "we don't charge any closing fees" > when you bought your new home? But what if someone--or some group of people--were kind enough to give you a home? > Nothin is really free........... The grace of God, perhaps? ;) Seriously though, http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html tells us that "free software is a matter of liberty, not price." "To understand the concept, you should think of 'free' as in 'free speech,' not as in 'free beer.'" I know I'm not an expert in business (nor do I have the experience as much as you do), but I believe that unless you're convincing a client who's very knowledgeable with web development, you can never convince him using esoteric technical arguments no matter how valid they are. The fact is, a less competent person will probably get the job if he has better social skills than you do. They will get the job even if they charge higher than you do.

ColdFusion is like my mom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:208207 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
