-> I just looked at their support site (WINSERVER.COM) - what in the
hell -> is the selling point of this product if it's not the BBS side? 

-> Why on earth would anybody use this to build a web service over 
-> something like Apache or IIS? What's the value-add here? I'm 
-> seriously asking, I just don't "get" this product, if it's not a 
-> BBS..

WINServer is more than a BBS.  I have a client that uses it for their
main email and internal communications system.  So, in that regards,
it's more than a BBS.   I am not going to go on a rant about what makes
WINServer the product that it is (because it has served me very well
over the years) as that would be a thread for another era -- one that
has been long since gone.

-> Also, from a marketing point of view, having your website look like 
-> it was made by a high school kid in 1997 is not a great idea if 
-> you're selling a WEB SERVER.

So what you are saying is that all Sysops' websites look like they were
done by teenages from 1997?  I would have to say that this isn't a fair
assumption to make here.  Just saying...
