My Dear Jon:

Your opinion "far superior product to Cognos" is subjective and not
supported by fact. I've dealt with Powerhouse before it was called
Powerhouse and Cognos before it was Cognos (Quasar Systems) and a finer
product and group of admittedly technical staff I have yet to find. This
after 31 years in the business. And I worked with Speedware in the mid to
late 80's...Please...
