Tony, I don't know if I am top posting because I am lazy or because this is a general response to Tony's comment. I'm gonna take the latter.
While your comments and your experience at TL/RD/PS don't surprise me, I understand that the draw for the vendors is that the larger sites produce more revenue and higher margins. My comment is the numbers of sites of each type. If there are lots of small sites and a significantly smaller number of large sites it would seem reasonable to set the default for small sites. However, having said that I completely understand several factors that can go into the decision making process for the vendor. First, with jBASE, this is really TEMENOS's database rather than jBASE and I suspect that their default site has a larger number of queues. From a product development perspective, trying to mix marketing and development (aka roll of a product manager - does this really ever happen? ;-) ) I understand fully the concept that you want to position your product for the large installations and target those customers with your sales and marketing efforts. When I was at Sanyo/ICON, we were always chasing the carrot, the really big installations. I terminated my employment there when they signed a deal for a large installation for an existing customer for a product we did not yet have and I was pretty sure was going to take a year or more to develop if it was even technically feasible. I wasn't opposed to the product, just selling it before we had it. You probably know how that goes.
