So it really comes down to which product has the coolest name:

1)      Symbiator
2)      Omni-Replicator
3)      Transformation Server
4)      RPG2SQL Integrator

I kind of agree with Evan.  I'd really like to own a Symbiator regardless of
what it actually does.

I may have to choose based on how well the company runs their website.
Mimix's site is designed to obscure and withhold information, encouraging
contact with Sales.  Data Mirror's "Contact Sales" button generated an
e-mail that gets bounced by their mail server.

Thanks to everyone for their advice.

-Jim
