If not keep it all the same and the additional new sales should more than pay the wages for additional technical staff if you find you need them.The software market for good web tools is way too high already. Just look at what MicroSoft wants for their new Internet Commerce System.. Sheesh!WebCat is a tremendous product that does exactly what is is supposed to when told to do so properly. It's fast and the new additions will make it the software of choice for businesses of all shapes and sizes.I recently added an NT server to the mix and insist on leaving WebCat running on it's own machine because nothing as good is available on any platform. WebCat is reason enough for everyone to have a Mac for internet sites not to mention the coolness of SiteEdit Pro. I played with WebCat on NT and found that the Mac version is simply better. That's something you don't see too often.There's nothing like a Mac.Todd ____________M_E_D_I_A_S_T_O_R_M_______________Todd Mathews mailto:todd@mediastorm.net http://www.mediastorm.net ______________________________________________
