Seems to me that:

         Product    Marketing
         -------    ---------
ESRI     Mediocre   Great
Caliper  Great      Mediocre

Boy, I sure wish Caliper would attend conferences, and underwrite a few
give-aways. For most conferences I've been to: it's as if my product (and
MapInfo was the same way) didn't exist.

Attend the conferences even without underwriting anything. Just to hear
the marketing lingo. And to be a part of the Open GIS Consortium stuff?

Come to think of it, I understand that Caliper will be attending next
year's web GIS conference at Penn State. That's a start.
