Aq, I am shocked you were able to find something as low as $3500. We have
used verity and paid about $350,000 as licensing fee, and others an range
anywhere between that to as high as a million dollars for 2 years for
google. (We need heavy duty customization). My hands are too tied up right
now with a new book I am writing or I'd have loved to join a project with
you.
