5.0 Pricing (Charles Kline 2003)

IMHO its too soon to make ANY assumptions and to do so is bad business practice.So rewrite the code and screw your investment and then see how it is, cmon they invested already? If I had done it in perl ages ago, I wouldn't be shelling out another $1500 STFD, and I would also be working in a developer rich environment.How ridiculous is this?Are you even a real developer, or are you part owner in SMSI? I have always been suspicious!Strictly speaking for myself and IMHO I plan on evaluating the product as it becomes more tangible and leave the lemming work to the lemmings. I am always evaluating new solutions to old problems. I prefer to remind SMSI and other vendors that there is always someone with a bigger better solution and they had best be competitive. Maybe your in government work and so someone else is paying the billBTW they also don't have to make it all off the backs of the other customers.BTW I don't think $1000.00 STFD is not nothingAABTW I am also looking at buying the Enterprise Edition with all its features but I am not sure its worth the $3000.00 STFD I remember buying early versions of webcat that didn't even do what they were suppose to do WebMerchant.AOMBTW Ever played poker?DDRNF.IMNSHOYMBATOn Tuesday, February 25, 2003, at 09:39 PM, John Peacock wrote:> Since the first time that SMSI announced the preliminary upgrade > pricing, they have even created a new unlimited Commerce license, for > those people who don't need the features of the Enterprise Edition. > But that's not good enough for you!
