RE: Parts catalogs $$$(Not much roc info)

["Julie Macfarlane" <juliemac@telenet.net>]

You have to be kidding...
I am dealing with MapInfo at the moment, the map component is $36,000, the
geocode is $47,000. Each year we might have to pay $5600.00 just for the
maintenance. The Geocode? $20,000.00 per year.
The Oracle database cost us $49,000.00

Total Cost? $264,000.00 (before tax and maintenance for the first year)

 Our Enemy is not the Lord Bill, but Larry Ellison and the jerks at
Mapinfo.(and a pengiun contaminated my laptop! Red Hat installed today)

ROC INFO.......
	A young man moved into our town this monnth from sunny Ca, bringing with
him an '88 MkII. (He won't sell.....   :(
At least I'm not alone out here in the boondocks any more....

A lot of companies will give you a free catalog with a minimum order.  For
example, Gene Berg Enterprises, a highly reputable aftermarket ACVW parts
developer/vendor, will do this with something like a $50 order, and
otherwise their catalog is pretty steep.

Incidentally, this is mild.  Wait until they start charging you to tell you
what part will fit your car, like Microsoft does.  We're looking at
upgrading some Microsoft software here at work for our server, and Microsoft
wants to charge us several hundred dollars just to tell us which of their
products we can upgrade to.

I hope the business world doesn't pick up on that concept...I guess it's
kind of self-eliminating, because whoever is last to adopt it will stay in
business the longest time.
