something as long as it's really good and better then a free product.

This depends on the kind of support you expect. I see lots of messages 
here, on the MySQL and on the ProFTPD list saying I want to do this but 
how.. The answer might be read a book or people are pointed to online 
documentation, or just RTFM.
For someone like me, and quite a few others on this list, support the way

I don't know if that's true. Opensource has more developers.. if say 10 
people work on a project it might even become available sooner then a 
commercial product..

For most endusers support and easy to use/install are important reasons to 
buy a product..

2001-04-10 Thread Steve Brett

the wonderful thing about open source is that generally you are speaking to
people that are FAR more qualified and FAR cleverer.

you remind me a lot of someone (and i can name a lot of developers) who has
something and is convinced that they are immediately superior because of
this 'something' that they have.

don't apologise. as i will not (as requested in your ealier mail).

open source needs to be kept free of people like yourself. otherwise nothing
will ever change.

No that is not what I said.  If you go back and read I have been referring

support.  They are an exception.  But if a company doesn't give you what 
you want go somewhere else.  That is the rule of

No, there's nothing wrong with earning money..

I think you're not using the right arguments in favor of a paid product 
compared to opensource.. I consider some of them false.. but perhaps the 
company you work for has a much better support..
You should not compare in general.. I can understand why some people prefer

It is defined by how it can satisfy the needs of a customer.  And I am

The quality of a cart is not defined by the numbers of operatings it's 
supporting. The cart I'm talking about can be installed within 5 minutes if 
you already know the cart. Otherwise it takes you 15-30 minutes. The old 
docs did suck.. I wrote a new one and started writing a complete howto on 
that particular cart.
Some free products may need additional work. But that goes for commercial 
products too.

>updates.  We do not leave people hanging.

Most opensource products I know don't either.. True, you need to do more 
work on your own.

I think your experience with opensource is different from mine. It's clear 
you're defending yourself, although I don't know why.

I've seen enough products I paid for and still the support sucks.. The free 
usergroups may know more then the paid support does..

A choice for buying a product or using opensource is not always a matter of 
how much you can or want to pay.

IF you know how to write code you could always join with the developers op 
opensource and create a better product. Otherwise you may help them by 
writing docs, test and point them to bugs/errors or just ask for features..

That is if you know how to develop.  It is easy for a developer.  but most

who want a store are not developers.

web servers running on Windows NT® 3.51 and 4.0 Intel machines as well as 
Windows® 95. It is also supported on SCO UNIXWARE 7.x (not SCO OPENSERVER), 
FreeBSD, BSDI (4.x only), Linux on Intel, Cobalt (RAQ2, RAQ3 or RAQ4 only) 
and Solaris on Sparc (not Intel), Netscape, Zeus and Apache 1.36 and above. 
On Windows, it will run on NSAPI/ISAPI compliant (Apache, Zeus, Netscape, 
Microsoft, O'Reilly) web servers. The current installation program supports 
Netscape Commerce, Communications, Fasttrack, Enterprise, Apache, Microsoft 
IIS and Personal Web Servers as well as O'Reilly Web Site Professional.
A new CGI loader now allows it to run on servers that do not have an API. 
We call this the CGIAPI and effectively gives non-API web servers the speed 
benefits.

Not only that... we are Rock Solid on IIS, which php is not.  I do know 
what I am talking about.

no you don't.  You get the information if someone responds.  When does
someone install something on your machine or use remote access to fix
an installation problem that you caused.  You have no idea what you talking

I don't have a problem with open source.  But to say that open source is better
all the time is non-sense, especially when you do not know that product that I
am talking about.

I know for a fact that as of right now there is NO  <-- can you read this?? 
free ecommerce
product that has as many features as our product.   If you do not believe 
me then
check out.  www.ihtmlmerchant.com  mercent.inline.net/store1

Now when you have checked this out you can apologize for your ignorance.
If you don't believe that our support is tops. Then you can ask our users.

spam (spm)
n.
Unsolicited e-mail, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to 
multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups; junk e-mail.

This obviously was not sent to a hundred addresses indiscriminantly and is 
related to the nature of the list.  therefore is not SPAM.

I have searched.  I work for an ecommerce company.  I have looked at the 
market very thoroughly.  The carts suck.  If you
are happy with them then that is fine.  But I know that none of the carts 
out there have anywhere near the functionality that
ours does.  They will get you through if you can't afford anything else, 
but they are not well designed or have what people
store want.  They do not support the number of operating systems that we 
do, and are no where near as easy to install.

It is a matter of preference... I think that linux and postgres are really 
cool.  MySQL bites.  :-P  I am not saying that all open source stuff suck,
just the open source php merchants.  My comment was directed at the merchant.

Open source is not the only way.  With our merchant you get the source code 
to modify and suit your needs.  Not only that... we maintain and provide
updates.  We do not leave people hanging.  We add features that our 
customers want and we fix the bugs in the code, and
support installs.  Try getting that with opensource.  There are user groups 
and mailing lists, which will try and help you through
but there is nothing that beats, support.  We provide documentation, 
installations, and free support by the people who wrote
the thing in a timely manner.

If he would post a message with a new FREE cart.. no you wouldn't. Changes 
are I would even help him to create docs .. add functions.. give support..

>BTW all the open source carts out there really suck.  I guess you get what you

There are quite a few very good ones.. but you have to search. I'll give 
you one hint: look at www.php.net there's a link..

You get what you pay for.. right.. you don't pay for Linux, you don't pay 
for PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL and many other products your using. Do you 
believe they suck too

I believe in opensource since it's the only way you can tweak things enough 
to fit in your setup or design.. You can add functionality to opensource.. 
share your code with others who can add more to it..
And have lots of fun..

I'm not stopping you from buying everything you need.. Go ahead and buy ..
Remember.. having to pay for something doesn't guarantee the quality.

Bye,


B.

Where else should someone post something like this?  I think that more
appropriately if should be on the php-general list but this is php 
related.  I would not
be hearing you complain if he said that he was posting the code for free.

BTW all the open source carts out there really suck.  I guess you get what you
pay for.

Why are you spamming this list shoppingcart FOR SALE??

There are LOTS of very very good shoppingcarts for FREE.. anyone interested 
should take a look at sourceforge.. devshed.com or any scripts repository.

I don't have any problem if you earn money selling your cart. If people 
want to pay for it.. well.. that's up to them.
But you should NOT spam this or any other list with your adds.

Bye,
