I think its silly. Has anyone been in a situtation where vendor B sited a list of bugs in vendor A's product as a reason not to buy from vendor A? In my fifteen or so years of buying software, it has never happend to me. (capabilites of A vs B, yes. But not bugs) If it does happen, wouldnt you instantly ask vendor B for a list of *their* outstanding bugs? And would anyone be dumb enough to believe B if they said they didnt have any? -- Joe Matuscak Rohrer Corporation 717 Seville Road Wadsworth, Ohio 44281 (216)335-1541 Matuscak@Rohrer.com
