LOL
I resemble that remark. While I do host about 30 CF sites at the
moment, and maybe 75 static sites, it is just me and my wife, and
while a business, we are a business consisting of just 2 "people"
that decided to build our business around ColdFusion. And with the
cost of 3 servers (SQL Server, Web/CF Server and Firewall), the cost
of Cf 4.51, SQL 2000 licensing and gobs and gobs of other stuff, Mail
Server, FTP Server, blah blah blah, we have close to $40k invested in
the past year and are at about $1k per month in profit above
operating costs. It's going to be a long time coming before we show a
dime in the black. 10+ years would be my guess. LOL
My point is, I'm not going to another platform. I have too much
invested. The good thing about software is, it doesn't wear out. So
unless I can get an upgrade to CF 5 when it comes out, and still run
an unlimited number of sites on 2 CPUs, for near $2k, I'll just stick
with 4.5. There are alot of small hosting companies out there, and
large ones also probably, that simply won't give their cash to
macromedia unless the return is worth it.
I've done fine without querying queries and using built-in functions
for 2 years now. I can go awhile longer.
I tried my darndest to wait until the 30th when the official pricing
is released.
