Patronizing, hardly. I wrote you that note and it was sound business advice to which you didn't even give me the courtesy of a response. If you spent half as much time actually learning something as opposed to trying to convince us how smart you are, you might be a part of this community rather than an expatriate. Businesses regularly spend money evaluating business-critical products. Many proprietary technologies, hard and soft, are not available for 'tire kicking' such as you are allowed with ZOPE and other Open Source technologies. Certainly Tera would not box up one of your supercomputers and send it to me for evaluation. Your comments either show your naiveté or your arrogance. If you worked for me and your reason for dropping your evaluation of ZOPE was that you couldn't figure it out for free, I'd fire you no matter how smart you tell me you are.
