Owen - Yes, I have checked out Dreamweaver. But,
that was for a class I took to learn a bit more about what is "behind the curtain" for web pages/sites. I am not a web designer so I don't use these tools myself day in and day out. I though Dreamweaver was very good and it's cross platform.
From a stock trader/investor perspective the story that really counts is not which product is "better", but which product do more paying customers think is better. So, as part of my due diligence in thinking about whether to take the NETO IPO through Wit Capital, I went and searched out as many people as I could that use these products. Dreamweaver preference/support was overwhelming.
And, I also tracked down IBM people that could serve as the proverbial "horse's mouth" on what the reality was on that front. This is what led me to stay away from the IPO. Then, watching the trading action it seemed that BTAB was providing what looked like obvious support at $12.00 (coincidentally, the offering price).
So, if you think that NETO's products are better and have a good basis for having that opinion -like you are in the business and your livelihood is dependent on these products- then I trust your opinion. However, even the "best" product does not by itself guarantee economic/financial success for a company. And in this regard, NETO has so far stumbled. Like I said, I can think of no better scenario than that they get their act together and start gaining market share and mind share. Then there will be money to be made on NETO. I have nothing to gain by MACR going up.
So, I'm not trying to provide any negative hype; nor am I writing these messages to get any ego satisfaction. I'm simply offering my opinion which I believe is grounded in sufficient reality to share with others here. If it serves as food for thought to anyone reading, great -that is my sole intention.
Cheers,
