Re: cost estimate for a GUI pilot

Henrik

I admit that I was a little surprised by your comment about Alex, that you didn't say more than you did. That's OK - information is good.

However, it is too easy to see your comment as an ad hominem argument against the content of the article. I do not say that this is what you meant, of course.

BTW, I love saying "ad hominem" ever since my son told me about 7 kinds of invalid arguments he learned about in high school!

Nathan did say who Alex is, although he didn't identify the Open Access nature of ProfoundUI - if the article is valid, then it's valid - it doesn't matter very much who or what wrote it - still, it is good to clarify as much as possible.

Vern

Alex may be known by us who actively writes in this forum but he is heading
a proprietary modernization company where .NET isn’t a part of their
strategy.



He will of course write articles that fit into Profound’s strategy like any
psychiatric that receive $1 mio. a year from Novartis will write articles
that fits into their medication strategy – it is as simple as that!



Even Scott’s future articles has to be seen in the context that he now
works for Profound or did I missed something here?

Henrik,

You stated the obvious. I think most of us know who Alex is.

Was there a purpose for your comment ?

I didn't read anything onerous into Alex's article, except for the part
about not using .Net :-)

The author (Alex) sells proprietary RPGOA sea shells on the IBM I sea
shore.

I just read the following article by Alex Roytman, CEO of Profound
Logic, and it reminded me of this discussion:

I felt it was appropriate for this discussion, because the author
delineates a series of steps which should precede the selection of
tools, in order to avoid pitfalls.
