an evolution of cfexpress would be incredible useful from my vision of the italian market for small intranet work - keep this option alive ! expecially now with an appealing price for upgrade to the pro version- - many many opportunities - regards,

The small businesses that could never afford an intranet or custom-developed applications, but is willing to buy prepackaged apps if apps existed to serve their needs. My thought was to develop intranets-in-a-box that used CF Express--message boards that could be used by mechanics or different hotel staff. By developing specific versions customized to a particular niche or industry, you can spread the cost around while creating apps without competitors. I never pursued it because I think CF Express is too limited for some of the things I wanted to do. If CFMX had a full-featured, single IP edition for dirt cheap, the price could be absorbed pretty easily I think. > > The cool thing for Macromedia is that many businesses outgrow a single PC and require more of a networked solution--meaning they'll have to upgrade to a full-featured CF server. > > Bill > > >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5/1/02 1:51 PM >>> > On that note, I would think it'd be in MM's best interests to develop a > method to do this - maybe the Developer Edition? with proper licensing?
