It's not about cost. It's "I've got a market SCREAMING for this product", and I need to deliver SOMETHING NOW. "Jam Tomorrow" just isn't going to cut it with the delivery date oh, maybe a year away. Terry Pratchett said it well in _Thief of Time_, when he wrote, 'Thorry, thur, but Igorth do not "tetht the printhiple". Thtrap it to the bench and put a good thick bolt of lightning through it, thatth our motto. Thatth how you tetht thomething.' And that's why I chafe at the "not-open" way this is being "released". I *know* that no-one in Government Service is going to take the risk, but without risk, there are no rewards. Now... Where was I in that Verified Vendor quiz... Maybe I should hire in some help for this just to get it Done. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
