texte = I have a few mid sized customers who I have convinced to put typhoon pro on their servers. Now they are interested in webdna due to what it has done for them and they justify the original expenditure of 600.00 after the fact, but they would NEVER spend 2,000.00.There are plenty of mid sized companies out there who have enough volume on their single domain to justify unlimited concurrent connections. They used to get in at 599.00, they now have to get in at 1995.00 This makes it much harder as a development company to price these things. Especially since many of the mid sized companies out there have a department in-house which hosts on-site. Many of these are the companies who already have php,asp,cfm on their servers and aren't easy to convince to take the webDNA plunge. AND IT REALLY SEEMS LIKE A DEEPER PLUNGE THAN ITS EVER BEEN BEFORE!AND DON'T TELL ME THAT THE PRICING ON THE INTRANET AND ENTERPRISE EDITIONS WILL MAKE ME HAPPY AND FIX THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE THEY AREN'T EVEN DUE OUT FOR 1-2 YEARS! >Old: Typhoon Pro $600 New: WebDNA - Partner Edition $899 >Same product feature set as Typhoon Pro, updated to include all 4.5 >enhancements.
