Clayleas -

I think that is why they used the words "closest thing to a silver bullet."

As self appointed phraseoleogy police.... I'd finger Bob Bemer & his Bigit approach as having introduced the phrase "closest thing to a silver bullet"... he calls his approach a "silver plated bullet."

Always the point in these press releases... this is PR put out by professional spin doctors. There is no FDA looking over their shoulders monitoring the accuracy of their claims... so they can claim anything they want.

Another way of looking at press releases... who's the bigger fool? Me for telling you the lie? Or you for believing me?

- Is this software really as good as CA says?

Certainly not as good as the press release would like you & I to believe. Only time & the market will tell for certain.

- What are its limitations?

Only time & use in the market will tell. Certainly CA won't admit to any limitations.

- David
