>Are you preparing to give them some of those things as OPTIONS? You'd better be. Are you thinking of ways to let them access data over the web or via a web interface on their Intranet?

Ok, I'll change the system to n-Tier and give it a web interface OPTION. I'll jack the price up from $45 to $450. And since this may only apply too 1% of the clients, this will be a great invesment.

If someone wants something like this, they can call us up, and we might do it for them. We'd develop it if someone wants it, and we may even set it up for them. We'd also sell it to anyone else that comes along who finds a need for it and is willing to buy it.

Or we won't do it, and instead recommend someone that does this all of the time. Then we can spend our time doing what we do.

Sending a complex system like that on a CD-ROM to 1000's of clients and saying, "set it up yourselves", is not my idea of fun. I don't want to support it. Thats just my personal belief.
