At the risk of sounding the curmudgeon, if a tool appears killed before it's time it's just a calculation error, either in the ROI measurements or those related to the value of the tool. As a principle, measuring for ROI is critical -- who wants to invest $1000 to make $100 back? But of course, the efficacy of ROI measurements is a function of the earnestness put into deriving them. :) -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Custom Software and Web Development for All Major Platforms Developer of WebMerge 1.9: Publish your database on the Web ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
