Fact it, most tools come with choices like that. An old boss of mine called it the Chevy/Jaguar choice. The Jaguar will get you there more quickly (on any given trip) and offer you far more creature comforts and features, but at a high initial cost and frequent trips to the mechanic. The Chevy will be slower and won't offer all the features, but it will probably outlast the Energizer Bunny, without all the trips to the mechanic. Samples of the Chevy/Jaguar choice are easy to come by in the digital world: Chevy Jaguar ---------------- ------------------- MySQL Oracle Perl C nano emacs PCL PostScript NIS LDAP In some cases, the Chevy is good enough. In other cases, the Jaguar is the only tool for the job.
