RE: What About Price vs. Performance?

["Joe Pluta " <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yup.  As soon as I get back from my honeymoon, I'll put my web server up and 
hand out passwords for those who ask to take a look at them.  They're not quite 
ready for publice consumption, because a determined hacker could break them 
today, and I simply don't trust the Internet.  I plan to have a full 
demonstration site up and running in May or June.
