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.
