His marketing and evangelizing, a mostly voluntary undertaking, just goes to reinforce how little return the country is getting from the DoD reuse centers at ASSET/VCOE/DSRO. Their funding sould be halted, and if spent, have it spent by Rick. Why the STARS program tolerates the waste going on at ASSET is beyond understanding. They post nothing to the Internet, their collections reflection no interest in active solicitation of reusble software, they make no use of information distribution technology like CD-ROMs, their customer support features (800 numbers) are extravagant lavious ways to spend tax dollars, etc. Shut them down, and give them money to Rick. -- ************************************************************************** Greg Aharonian Source Translation & Optimization P.O.
