Free PowerHouse Web.... [BE>]  via la PH Web!  Begin chant now! :) 

If PHWeb were included with the next release (8.4)  along with AXiant do you
believe that your applications would be better served????
[BE>] It would be an easier sell to my clients 

Do you see the potential for migrating existing applications to the web????
to Unix???? 
[BE>] Definitely web.  UNIX no but Linux yes. 

Would IT directors embrace this technology??? 
[BE>] ONLY if they can be assured that programmers are as readily available
as Java or VB programmers.  In my experience IT managers have been concerned
first about the availability of appropriate personal and then costs.

Do you think that there is a need for PH Linux??? 
[BE>] Yes but not as much as Windows NT/2000. 

Do you need Itanium support??? 
[BE>] No but this could quickly change as the Itanium becomes more
widespread and OpenVMS is finally ported to it (2004 now). 

Are you prepared to show cost savings, manhour reductions, increased
productivity etc etc ?? 
[BE>] Yes though it would take some time to collect and collate the data
into a presentable format.
