   Hi Dale,
   Yeah, I think the ALF is pretty steep myself - it's easily the largest
   single item in my budget. But I think I still get decent value for it,
   especially as I plan on upgrading to R7 as soon as they finish CSM. We've
   used Browser since 1999, and we are increasing our usage, and at least
   it's
   a lot more stable than it used to be. Of course, that could be because of
   the newer versions of Winwoes being a little better than the old versions.
   I was initally concerned about the mismash of languages, as Konrad
   mentioned (I think he missed a couple, like PowerBuilder for those of us
   running MDCC, and probably some others), but they seem to work fine. I am,
   however, very much looking forward to running in a full Java environment
   on
   R7.x when we convert.
   One thing to keep in mind is that our ALFs don't just fund existing
   application enhancements. They also fund e:Info and the folks at the
   response line, which is worth a lot to some of us. It's great to get a
   speedy response via e-mail, and generally fast response via phone when I
   or
   my people need to talk to a human bean on something weird that is
   happening. There is also continuing enhancement to some older modules,
   like the Offline Shipping Enhancement, and such. Also, it costs a lot to
   fund R&D for the new hardware, modules, and languages (WebSphere and
   such).
   On a tangent - Konrad, I noticed no one said they have loaded 5118 yet. I
   have it sitting in my drawer, waiting to see if it's OK. Hasn't ANYONE put
   it on?
