Your questions beg for a lengthy conversation of relative technical capabilities vis-a-vis the work you do with the software. But in a very small nutshell I'd offer than the answer to both (then and now) questions could be summed up as "Faster, easier, and cheaper".
If you want some detail backing up of any of those claims drop me a direct line. Cheers.

ArcInfo People, Ok, i know this question has been discussed before, but I suddenly have a burning need for more answers. Our company chose to use MapInfo because of some partnerships we had. Now, 4 or 5 years later, and after all the people who made that decision have left the company, I am supposed to be able to say why. So, that leads to my question (2 parts) below. Why would I want to use MapInfo rather than ArcInfo? And the second part of that questions is, why would I have chosen to use MapInfo over ArcInfo 4 or 5 years ago? Much appreciation in advance for any answers to this (2 part) question. -Evan MacDougall ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) GIS Supervisor DPSI (formerly ACE USA Flood Services) (310)342-3600 / (800)736-3109 - ext. 3681 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 2819 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 2820
