there's nothing to agree on martin.  the cms is written in coldfusion.  if
we don't put weo on a box with coldfusion (and it talks to a database i have
handy so i can do the port), then it's moot.  it really doesn't matter what
desdev or sysadmin thinks about that cause i can pretty much bet we're not
rewriting the cms from scratch in another language in the next 4 weeks.  (i
don't even wanna think about how long *that* discussion will last before a
shred of work begins.)

we do?  i don't see it.

does that $100 a month include the costs leo, beo, etc. are going to bring
us in coming months?

well, we're hemorrhaging money right now as it is.  we don't have the
guaranteed monthly income to support the sort of commercial customer status
you're seeking.

so, i'll make the necessary changes to the codebase, port the data, and move
it to my box in the next 3 weeks.  that'll give us the necessary breathing
room, both money and time-wise, to do a proper evaluation of hosting
companies.  anybody object?
