John,

You mean to tell me you never had the pleasure of getting on the phone to your Point of Sale software vendor because the Point of Sale software is not updating your inventory in the Accounting software. Even thou the point of sale software brochure specifically stated it worked hand-in-hand with xyz accounting.

I think moreso than any other industry, sometimes choices in IT can lead to more problems than are solved.

>The more competition there is, the better off consumers will be. Folks confuse competition with a lack of standards. As long as a common framework/guidelines exist, the more folks that are in the market place to innovate new products - the better off the consumer will be. Why folks think one has to come at the expense of the other is beyond me...
