Hi Steve

I did realise that the client would have to own a license to DW, but I'm
assuming that you can roll that into the overall contract price (of course
it means biting into your profit margin/competitiveness). I also realised
that any client with a degree of technical know-how would be able to restore
DW to it's former powers. As to whether many clients would be willing to
pay, then I suspect the answer would be yes. I wouldn't try and sell it to
them as a hobbled version, but more of an enhanced version. As you pointed
out it wouldn't be just cosmetic changes to the menus, but actually adding
and removing menu choices (I'm thinking along the lines of wizards to
control most areas of the operations), which is what the client would be
sold on.

To be honest it was more of a blueskies idea then a realistic suggestion.
Looking out the window at our grey skies I suspect that we'll be sticking
with our ASP solution for a while longer :)
