RE: [cobalt-users] Chilisoft ASP

[Tom Socha <tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I totaly agree. Using a closedsource technology is a waste of money.we sit
on our butts for so long waiting for an ASP solution for the RAQ and it
was just about a month or so ago we started using PHP. The first and most
important thing: support. You go with an opensource technology and the
support of beyond superior to anything closedsource. How many times have
you wanted to find an answere to a Micro$oft problem and spent hours
searching their sight! With opensource there are usually a couple hundred
other people who have had either the same questions you have or have
created the same type of app you need, and are usually willing to give it
up for free or for an honerable mention. With any closedsource technology,
you are at the mercy of these heathen companies.

I can't believe that running ASP on a raq is going to cost somewhere in
the thousands. When I heard Chilisoft was porting to the Linux platform,
it was going to be a great solution. When I heard they were porting to the
Linux platform and selling it for your first born and the pink slip on
your car, it became a non-solution for us. PHP works great, does what we
need and is 100% free. If your willing to spend that kind of money, buy
another server. Jees.
