JC, contrary to what you suggest, It seems very easy to
provide a cut down Portico or Portico lite. Did you
notice that GMGC registered the domain porticolite.com
and porticolite.net?

Have you ever used Portico? Portico lite could just
be the mailbox and address book. That's all network
Wildfire is, right? One time I called in and my Portico
mailbox was not available, but I still had access to
my other Portico apps. Seems they are very modular.
Turning one off and the other on seems to be part
of the design. They are all very simple to learn and
use.

You are saying Wildfire can develop and add more
features over time to it's newtwork Wildfire. Perhaps
true, but isn't General Magic several steps ahead if it
already has the features and apps and can just
turn some off for a lite version?

Did you see the General Magic announcement that they
would provide several tiered versions? What is network
Wildfire bringing to the table, the lowest tier? I agree
that this could be smart, but why do you think General
Magic doesn't have this in the plan. Reading their
press release about multiple tiers and seeing their
new domain name registration indicates that they do.
A lite version of Portico might even beat the basic network
Wildfire to market?
