texte = I appreciate the sensitivity that PCS may have over some of the comments that have been posted as of late. We own 2 licenses for WebCatalog. I agree with the Mooseman; pay the freight or get out of Dodge.Our business is not in the Do-It-Yourself mode; our time-to-market of products gives us the competitive edge. We do not fiddle with computers, we produce and market solutions. The entry cost of the software is the least significant portion of our costs.We value the pool of talented people who write this stuff, those of all of you like us who push the envelop to discover what it can do to make customer solutions, and the support to keep all of us in business. Good luck to the do-it-yourselfers. But quite frankly, they are not our competition (no put down intended).
