Hello CF-Talk,

When you are purchasing any product, the future MUST be considered if
growth is planned?

The fusebox "like" AuctionBuilder product is ONE example of the future of
our products, which we are releasing many this year.

I'm sure on the flexibility point we are the winner, as far as price goes we
have set it FAR below all of our "honest competitors" and yet still have
enough
margin in it to allow for support, Research & Development and exspansion
of the company.  IBM, Microsoft, OpenMarket, and Intershop hate
running into us, our product is much easer to get started with than any of
those products that offer "similar" levels of features and COMPANY SUPPORT.

One of our new customers spent 3 months trying to get IBM's solution to
work, angry with the problems one of the developers went home early on
Friday and downloaded our software.  Returning to work on Monday with an
almost fully completed site they dropped the IBM solution in favor of ours.

The ONLY reason I originally posted was because the copyright and patent
laws of our country suck, but our country's ethics don't?....Go try to
"knock
off" a song,  book or corporate logo...etc.

VERY Respectfully yours,

Mike Randolph
