I don't know what you people are talking about. I have not one clue about anything PHP.
But, if the software performs better. Is it not better? If at this time I wanted to think about that course of action, if both were going to cost me the same in time and money to learn, and I took that cost to do so, and in the end it took less time to write the code in one product in the other, I would chose that one. Less key strokes, less time spent, less cost in the long run. Over the next 10 years (if the technology lasts that long) if it costs 5000 grand to do the work with Lasso and 10000 grand with PHP, where the heck do you think my initial investment would go? Not everyone here is PHP pros, or pros at anything at all for that matter. Some people come here looking for answers and solutions to their database needs. Posting information about products that may assist someone (whether its gaining them money in doing so or not) shouldn't be considered SPAM, but a valuable resource. Posting remarks about this product and doing your own comparisons of value and ability are welcomed. It may help someone make a decision about the product they decide to use. What is the point in SPAMMING replies to someone, more or less telling them to get lost and don't come back to tell us stuff about new technologies, to someone who probably is not monitoring the list? Is that not just a little insane wasting good bandwidth and peoples time? Some of you people who are pros should lighten up a little :) And in purchasing this Lasso product you are supporting MySQL AB. What's wrong about that :) Maybe I am naive, but is PHP going to support MySQL AB financially? -----Original Message----- From: Todd Williamsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 3:35 PM To: 'Jonathan Hilgeman'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ANN] Blue World Announces Lasso vs PHP White Paper 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 -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Hilgeman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 2:00 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ANN] Blue World Announces Lasso vs PHP White Paper Ah, the keywords "with commercial add-ons." 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.
