Releasing a commercial revweb site

[Edward D Lavieri Jr]

Hi Richard,

I recently took this leap, but on a smaller scale. Even after thorough  
local testing on multiple PC and Mac operating systems, my client had  
problems. This taught me to wait until well after the first non-beta  
release. Once things are truly stable, I will dip my feet back in  
these waters. Until then, I am using other development environments.

We only get one chance at first impressions.

Ed
