Why not make it a billion dollars then. Then they'll really think it's
great. I don't know many CTOs (let alone CFOs) that would want to spend
12,000 on a technology that is not totally proven. You think it's a good
idea, I think its a good idea... but c'mon.

This confuses me to no end here. So this is like the trickle down
theory? I guess thats it.

... Don't think in terms of timelines and have 12,000 bucks - that's more than
I spent on my car btw - so this product is definitely not for me
or any of my clients (or anyone I speak to)

Yeah... like the beta max right. The growing pain is orders of magnitude
higher then any tiny like rib pain or something - more like fatal
cranial trauma.
I was so stoked to use it too...
