It is too expensive, imho. Folks keep saying that 12,000 isn't much, but that's not the whole picture.
It's 12,000 per server up to 2 cpus. So for Tommy, if they were to deploy it load balanced, that's at least 24,000. How about a test environment? There's another 12,000, or is it 24,000 there so that their test environment matches production? Support package too? That's going to start adding up. Pretty soon, when deploying for large companies you've met or exceeded a person's yearly salary. Say a Flash developer who can also bring other value (intellectually and creatively) to the company. So creative person or presentation layer only technology that still needs you develop the application/business logic functionality? Of course it might not be like this at all, but those are some thoughts that go through my head. - Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 12:35 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Ajax On Sun, 20 Mar 2005 22:59:17 -0500, Justin D.

Yeah when you get into a point of no return like that you have to hit "clear form" - they went round and round on the usability of that I hear. I didn't design it. > > BTW I tried to convince them to use Flex, but they said > > it was too expensive :-/ > > Too expensive for Tommy? Say it ain't so! It's a third party app, so it was more of a "too expensive for the little guy selling the technology to the big guy" kind of thing. I have no idea how the money for it works but when I showed them flex they were like "yes yes!" then I told them the price they said "no no use the neuromancer thing". -- ~Blog~ http://www.robrohan.com ~The cfml plug-in for eclipse~ http://cfeclipse.tigris.org ~open source xslt IDE~ http://treebeard.sourceforge.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
