Ummm, I do host my own server for applications, so I have costs associated. PHP was free for me to install though regardless of the server or not. We can go on and on about the cost savings, etc because of time (which I am sure there are plenty or arguments pro / con). Point of the matter is there are upfront costs associated for me where with other languages I don't have the same constraint. Some folks do have the need for dedicated boxes;) I am not trying to troll, the question was asked and I gave my impression. It could well be marketed better for small companies or individuals, etc. However, the marketing message that I have seen is, "It saves you time to write applications and the time savings will make up for the upfront costs", not "It's free to use, as long as you don't run a dedicated server";) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:256650 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
