There was an ASP market because I am involved in it. The fact it has never taken off is due to a major issue with connectivity and other reasons. There are some good ASP's (client side) take a look at runaware.com they have some superb examples. The "term" however, leaves a lot to be desired. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- LEGAL DISCLAIMER -- This message and any attachments to it is intended only for the individual or company to which it is addressed and may contain information which is privileged, confidential or prohibited from disclosure or unauthorised use.

It is and always has been just another stupid acronym to raise stock prices. Now that the stock investment sheep are shying away from tech stocks, hopefully we will see less fluff and more real technology. I personally have been hoping the whole damn tech sector crashes on the stock markets. When that happens the only way to succeed in our chosen business will be to have actual skill and a good product, and not just the ability to con grandmas out of their retirement funds with fancy acronyms. Now go back to slashdot mr. troll. jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Sutton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 09, 2001 9:35 AM Subject: OT: Thoughs on Macromedia Takeover of Allaire > > I have also heard a disturbing rumour that the ASP (Application Service > Provider not MS ASP!) industry is about to collapse.
