There are people on this list that have been working with this database
for 40 years or more, can you say that about the products you are so
hyped up on. This database/environment/platform has outlived all other
databases. It has outlived it's creators. It survives because it does
what it is supposed to do. It was created to live and evolve. Long after
the databases that you are extolling the virtues of have biten the dust
it will continue. What you and many other people see is the glitz and
glamor the newest fashion fad while the Plain Jane over in the corner
does it's job. All hail Plain Jane.

There are know right or wrong answers here but I would rather not have
to rely completely on one technology platform, even Microsoft ...or
apple ;-) That was also a joke...
So those of you who do not change or cannot get Rocket to change, good
luck with your future business.
...probably enough has been said down this path...

Subject: Re: [U2] What do you do with CallHTTP?
Let's not forget here that the business user wants a solution.
[phil walker] That's right.
If you can come in, with their solution, and no one else can, and
you're a
good salesperson, and the price is right, you get the signature most
of the
time.
[phil walker] Why not get it all of the time.
The reason products like Shims took off is because there was literally
no
competition in the marketplace they were addressing (small
manufacturing
and distribution companies), and what competition there was, was five
times
the price. That was a complete solution.
Companies who *already* have an infrastructure and personnel
investment
in certain technologies, of course will desire to adhere to those.
But that is
not a show stopper, just a big boulder in the path.
[phil walker] Rightly or wrongly it is a fairly big boulder. So why not
pick your battles.
If you can show how much more fabulous your business solution is, than
the last guys, you can get
companies to switch from PCs to Macs.... Ok that's a joke.
