Michelle, you're right of course. Wasn't it on this thread that someone was comparing NSCP w/ ITWO, saying ITWO could be easily knocked off, too!!! It was always obvious that a half dozen comp sci graduate students could build a browser to rival Navigator, over a long weekend, given enough soda and pizza! But, what these ERP companies are doing takes years to develop and refine, and a tremendous amount of expertise and discipline. I've been a software developer for 20+ years. But, I'm a dinosaur and will be put out to pasture soon. There is no way every company can afford to continue to develop their own systems anymore. There aren't enough "GOOD" developers, it's too expensive, time consuming, etc. I'm not sure who the ultimate app winners will be (there'll be more than one), and I actually have some VNTV, too. But, most of my new money is going into this segment. Regards, tom

Michelle, I followed Mohan over here to the i2 thread. I'm considering a purchase. Some time ago you posted " the appl sw companies - some of which really revolutionize important things (I2), and others simply automate mundane tasks (RMDY)." Can you help a new guy, and a liberal arts acronym challenged guy at that understand the essence of what i2 does and how this is as you say revolutionizing important things. examples, like your experience with Fuji, are great for me to sink my teeth into. all the best jhg
