<< Steve,
      Do you really think it's a good idea to be discussing vendor names and
 exact pricing on this forum?

Steve,

When somebody has sold my company something that they didn't really need for
the last 2-years, I want to let people know about it so they don't fall for
the same thing...I think the people that spend good money for things only to
find out later that it was money spent unecessarily appreciate that...

ANYBODY that tries to sell me something and I learn I really don't need to
buy it, I'll let the whole world know about it...it's called fighting back.
There's too many sales people out there that will take advantage of a persons
lack of knowledge just so they can get their commissions...unfortunately, you
see that more often than most people would like to see in this industry.

Let me ask, why is price for things such a big secret? Is it because that
knowledge, if widely known, might ruin an opportunity to gouge the uninformed?

I'm not trying to sell anything, just let people know about a company that
has been selling my employer something for 2-years that was not really
needed...

So yes, I do think it's a good idea in situations like this. I would hope
that other people would do the same should they ever have a similar
experience...
