Re: [WEB400] Who's doing Web work on iSeries? (was: ASP on AS/400 Apache)

I'm the receiver of requirements... not the maker.  My marketing
department makes the requests.

Anyway - typical WEB vendor stuff - Overpromise - underdeliver -
under-analyze.  They could have spent some serious time looking into
this, with our current site (www.palmbeachjewelry.com) as a template - a
starting point - so to speak -which is what they contracted for.  We've
not changed the site (other then cosmetics) since September 9th - when
they said they would have all 14 of our web sites converted to
non-AS/400 technology - by middle of October.  It'll be mid-January
before they're done.  Nothing to do with requirements - we're starting
with what we had - and working forward.  Nothing to do with technology -
other then the fact that they can get MANY more soldiers - then we can.
We were running our WHOLE show with under a hand-full of people.  They
probably have TEAMS of PC guys, HTML People etc...

You keep changing your requirements, no?  It wouldn't have anything to
do
with the technology your vendor is using, right?
