Well, there's at least two ways to look at that. One is ROI, i.e., am I making enough back to justify what I'm paying. But another way to look at the question is, "Is the price I am paying reasonable based on what it costs to produce the thing I am paying for?" High price/cost ratios tend to yield unstable long-term economic relationships, unless prestige is part of the product. > It can be a consideration for other reasons, but not for the one which > comprises our main discussion point. I suspect part of the evident confusion in this discussion is disagreement on what "our main discussion point" is. I think you're arguing a narrower scope of issues than some other people are. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
