be careful of this one with people like doe execs. their answer is "its all right for entities like that!!" we techs know that a good system is a good system but when trying to impress non tech decision makers 'not for profit' orgs seen as having no option but to take 'free' or 'cheap' systems. 'WE/(they)' can afford better. its not a good argument to use IMHO. ************************************ Ann Moffatt EXoCaT Pty Ltd 49 Raintree Avenue BURRUM HEADS QLD 4659 tel +61 (0) 7 4129 5796 fax +61 (0) 7 4129 5916 *********************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graeme Robinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jeff Waugh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Mail List - LINK" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Mail List - SLUG" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 10:27 AM Subject: Re: [LINK] Re: [SLUG] NSW DET to be urged to use OSS > On Tue, 30 Jul 2002, Jeff Waugh wrote: > > > <quote who="David"> > > > > > Watch this space.
