I thought that $699 thing was dead since, like, 2005?

And I'm lucky - I control what software I use, and I choose WO. I
can, because I don't have to deal with managers that "know better".
But I completely understand why managers are reluctant to choose
WO. Try Googling "WebObjects". The first site that comes up is
Apple's site (surprise!) - and the first and only article there
celebrated it's fourth birthday last month.
I mean, if someone comes to you and says "check out product X, it's
really cool!" - you go to the website of the company that makes X,
and see that nothing's happened since 2004.... Catch my drift?
I'm not trying to be negative. I don't have to. Thanks to Mike and
Wonder, life is good with WO, and Pierre and his team are doing an
excellent job in many regards. But perhaps it's time for Apple to
spend like 1 man month on the WO web site (like, making it not look
dead) or just plain redirect to the community efforts, where actual
stuff is happening.
Yep - well put.
Now be fair... someone did put 'some' effort in... by 'like' re-
directing from webobjects.com which used to go to apple.com/webobjects
to now point to developer.apple.com/tools/webobjects ;-)
with regards,
