7/12    Why is ASP so bad?
          An example of an ASP model- Yahoo Finance- This entire site is
        one big ASP application. You can login- load you stock portfolio-
        track its performance- host discussions- view data related to
        stocks
          Same goes for the bill pay.. same goes for the MyYahoo stuff..
        Yahoo has gone way beyond the portal to information- They give
        people the ability to Loadand Retrieve data using the ASP model.
        The whole ASP thing just got a bad name because a lot of broke
        dot coms lost their shirts persuing the ASP model- in particular
        related to the keyword ecommerce.  But in actuality the ASP model
        is far superior to anything (except for maybe the security
        aspect). The rollout costs are nil- the training costs are
        minimized- the ability to implement quick enhancements is there-
        If lets say- Ellison got his way with the network computer- we
        really would have a better operating environment as MSFT could go
        in real time and update the interface and release enhancements
        without having to bundle the entire package together.
          The Ecommerce ASP is still a multibillion dollar solution. Look
        at Ebay- ASP  model. SAP applications may as well be considered
        ASP now with all the http://MySAP.com integration they have. Just
        becuase we all don't use commerce one's or ariba's software
        doesn't mean it is a flawed idea- or bad technology.
