tschulte, you say you don't have a dog in this fight,
so something must have changed in the last 6 or 8 months.
Last year you were pretty high on Lifeware and bought
an HP MCE machine, signed on as a dealer and seemed pretty
gung ho about the future with Lifeware. What happened?
I will admit I was very optimistic about Lifeware when I was first presented with it, but once I went to the "training" and realized how much it would cost, I quickly changed my mind. I do believe that it is a good product, but I don't believe it will do what dlewis asks for. I think there is a market between Crestron/AMX and HAI, etc. that is not being fulfilled, if EI's pricing was a little better they could have a piece of that. Instead, it seems that they are trying to compete head to head with the intrenched incumbants.
As far as the HP machine I am still gung ho about that, and think HP is making a HUGE mistake by getting out of it.
