We had the experience in SE Asia of a chairman wanting to buy an IBM mainframe so he could go to his exclusive club and be able to complain about the problems he is having with his IBM mainframe like all his associates. It was the in thing.

Maybe I'm just naove, but it comes as a surprise to me that a prospect considering to buy what I have to sell them would be concerned with the tools I use to make the delivery, including IT. If I were on the buying end, I think I would only be concerned with 1)the quality of the product/service, 2)the cost, 3)on-time delivery. I couldn't care less about the methods/tools the vendor used to make that happen...unless, of course, they were exploiting child labor, or something dreadful like that.... ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.u2ug.org/listinfo/u2-users
