I'm not bound to using PHP, Ruby or anything. I'm just bound to a certain budget which limits my possibilities. And that will limit the speed of the application. It will be a matter of as fast as possible though, which is why I want to do this using the right tool. The requirements make sense. At least, to me they do. He also has his reasons to believe this can be done on a low budget. And the thing is, I don't doubt it. The goal of the application is to increase the success rate of my client's business. Say it's at 1:1000 right now. If I can get it up to 1:500 (which is a matter of speed in this case) I will have myself one happy client. However, if I can get it up to 1:400, I will have an even happier client. If I exceed the budget by more than say, 10%, I will have an angry client. So I need to increase the speed by as much as possible within the budget. So again I ask you to stop questioning the why. If it's not possible, I will find that out and so will he. But I do want to give this an honest chance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
