It is the realization that customers buy more feelings than value that we don't learn in school but through experience. IN my long ago days, customers only paid more if the software had a snazzy foreground and with nice colours, not easy to do with Clipper !!
It didn't matter if you told them that you had added in a module that could use statistical algorithm to solve a day to day report that took them 6 days base don data from an excel spreadsheet compiled into database and into a report in their software. That was the initial success of M$oft and is the success of some telecom companies - make them feel good, and the rest is history. warmest regards Shem Nnaggenda Kanabi-Nsubuga "Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy will be fresh for the fight.

BTW I am the owner of an IPOD and you should see how cool it makes me feel whenever am listening to audio material or watching movies on it. I just feel NICE. When you call Kiggs on his line that uses the Iphone, the way he talks to you is so much more sexy and cool than when he is using his other Nokia based line. And who said customers don't buy feelings? They do.
