I have not decided one way or the other just yet.  We have the luxury though of 
having the hardware to ourselves.  Our software stands alone on the hardware as 
the equipment it runs on has one central focus.  This may not work well for 
those that make apps that must exist with the rest of the world.

I still believe that on a tech support level, the information presented may 
help someone else one day.  

Best regards,
