>>>PMFJI, but my company is in the business of taking these old outdated apps and rewriting them to ASP.NET. We host the site, we host the database and backups, and we have professional designers so the finished product looks very aesthetically pleasing. Customers get the advantages of having their site available on the web so they can access it anywhere (really, who doesn't have an internet connection anymore), they don't have to worry about the integrity or safety of their data, and they pay a low monthly cost after the development for this peace of mind. It works well for us.

>>I think a lot of stuff that was formerly handled with verticals or customized verticals is now being handled like that. Makes a lot of sense to me, depending on the requirements. Some places may require a thicker client, but you can always host the data and design something that VPNs into it. I would bet you're having a lot of success with this approach.

That's a very nice problem to have <bg>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
