texte = The time has come for all men to come to the aid of their country (or inthis case of WebDNA)...Any how, here is my issue:Our management team brought Banta Corp. (www.banta.com) in so that they cantell us how to grow our business and of course be more profitable on ourwebsite/catalog/etc.They recommended that we switch to ASP because the labor pool is bigger thanthat of WebDNA. I'm trying to compile a list of why we don't have to switchto WebDNA.So if any one know of something that we can't do with WebDNA but can be donewith ASP or any thing against or for WebDNA/ASP please let me know.So the battle goes on...Thanks for your prompt reply.Pedro RiveraWebmaster - Designerwww.pssl.compedror@pssl.com714-891-3990 Ext. 817411070 Valley View St.Cypress CA. 90630-----Original Message-----From: Dale LaFountain [mailto:dalel@darkhorse.com]Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 12:21 PMTo: WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.comSubject: Re: [OT]Thanks Donovan.I'm here, just working too hard to post to the list very often. :) Michael is around too, but he's mostly a lurker these days.Yup, we've been using webcat since version 2.
