    Au contraire.

    Perhaps when used as your describe, Marcus, that software isn't so
    valuable. OTOH, for remote debugging, set-up and so on, it can be
    invaluable. Whenever our engineers go to do a site set-up, they know
    they can always get someone here to help them via browser-based
    conferencing.

    Very valuable and useful for more then the sellers originally
    envisioned. Interesting sidelight on the discussion I think.

    Regards,
