You think Blue World getting the point yet? Maybe they are thinking twice about spamming mailing lists with their products? Maybe a better target is Microsoft's .NET boards since both products are about the same price

Notice the plurality, as well. I wonder which add-ons and how many total add-ons were considered in making this cost estimate. I also wonder if most of us would even need more than one commercial add-on at most. - Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: Cathy Cunningham (Blue World Lasso Evangelist) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 12:37 PM To: Chuck "PUP" Payne; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ANN] Blue World Announces Lasso vs PHP White Paper At 1:19 PM -0500 3/7/02, Chuck \"PUP\" Payne wrote: >But who wants to pay.

If you do a true comparison in features, you'll see that a PHP-based solution (with commercial add-ons) costs over three times the cost of Lasso. Then there's also the (TCO) total cost of ownership where due to productivity gains in using Lasso, developers end up saving lots of time (e.g. money) compared with using other tools. Then there's also the fact that when you buy Lasso Professional 5, you're also supporting MySQL AB as each copy purchased puts money in their pockets. And, this is a good thing to ensure the future vitality (and growth) of the MySQL market. It also gives you peace of mind in knowing that you have a commercial license of MySQL, which can help ease liability and other concerns that may otherwise be present in certain organizations who may have concerns using just GPL products. Then there's the issue of quality. With Lasso Professional 5, no stone remains unturned with respect to ensuring Web developers have the highest quality offering both in terms of features, documentation, support materials and more.
