Re: Simple internal e-mail system for AS/400

Jack,

I don't think your statement was out of line.  In fact, a substantial number
people who sell software subscribe to this list.  The decision on how to
price their software can be a hard one.  Vendors need to hear feedback from
end-users.

For instance, it was refreshing for me to find that www.seacrest.com
actually published "screen shots" and prices on their website.  Seems to me
that most AS/400 software vendors do too much generalization on their web
sites, and that a "discussion" of price is only offered by a salesman.

Maybe I was a little out of line in my statement.  They do have an excellent
product but they wanted us to pay several thousand dollars more to continue
using it on our new system.  And the total cost of using their product
became more than we wanted to pay.  It might not seem expensive to others so
I guess I should have kept my opinions to myself.  Anyway, thanks for the
recommendation!
