Indeed. At the same time, it is unlikely that you can go about it without doing some of the job yourself. As a limiting case, consider a situation where speed is you main criterion. How likely are you to find a published benchmark comparison that will be a) directly applicable to your situation, b) trustworthy, c) completely specified so that you know exactly (i.e. to your satisfaction) how the comparison was set up. I seriously doubt you'll find many such cases. Now add to that a second criterion, that will involve analysis of the business prospects of the manufacturer and how the particular product fits the manufacturer's strategic plans. That's a totally different set of expertise. And you want it under one roof on the net. There are companies specializing in this sort of things. they usually charge a lot. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
