It most certainly would, in InfoWeek, and other such "sources of journalism" which happen to get read by a whole lot of Pointy-Haired Boss types. The point isn't of how YOU see it, but rather of how it would be seen by the people that make budget decisions based only on a minimal understanding of technical matters and a liberal dose of whatever they see in Gartner reports and other weekly 'rags.' For better or worse, that perspective has a good deal of influence. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="acm.org" in String.concat "@" [name;tld];; http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/spiritual.html "Jeez, got me.
