RE: All Ports in Use when they are not

["Zhou, Don" <dzhou@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Jill, talking about "blew out of water" pricing quote:  I was at a roundtable at AALL this year. We were talking about EDI. Almost every Innovative customer except a couple of us have bought the EDIFACT module from Innovative which can use EDI. One manager told me that their price was pretty cheap. But when I asked for a sales quote for the module, we went "wow!".  We just could not afford to buy it when there are other nice things we want to buy.

Not sure how much you paid for your unlimited Web OPAC...but it blew us out of the water when we saw it.  This is not a very viable solution at these prices!!!
