At the same time however, I went to the Apple site, and its a legit price.
WebObjects is very powerful. At $700 and available for the Mac, NT/2000Pro,
and *nix boxes, it may be a serious competition in a few months. As for
going to Java, remember, CF is headed that route as well, according to
Allaire.
If the powers that be (i.e., my bosses here) are willing to buy me a copy,
I'm willing to experiment with it.
