Mitch, I worked for a firm for nearly 15 years some time ago, and I have to say that I loved using D/T and J/S for lots of things. I was the administrator of the product for several years, and had that product really humming. We looked at other competifive products, and I casually look at them today, and nothing held a candle to what I could do with them. I miss those tools now, and am sorry DSSI couldn't keep going.
Thanks for reminding of those good times! On Thu, Jun 28, 2012 at 3:15 PM, Mitch <[email protected]> wrote: > Lizette (et al): > > While the SEA and ASG products are good, they are not complete.
