This is something I like to do within my company: they used to buy software
online saying that it is still cheaper then develop it ourselves. Hmm.. I
always agreed, BUT in a different way -- sending them a link to Source Forge
- "Look guys, they have done a similar soft already and even in a similar
language, but, 4 FREE !!!!" Gezz,, when will they ever understand that
Phorum runs better then some $200 cgi-perl application easier to find for a
manager on AltaVista.
This is how we have to teach them.
