"Various sales people who make their living by selling software may disagree 
with my conclusion that one must look past the perceived personal value of the 
software in question and determine the actual value that the software has as 
their primary method of determining their needs because this has a backlash in 
the software industry (and especially for CMS) in the sellers marketing attempts 
and in our buying attempts. In essence, when purchasing software, the marketers 
have gotten us to think "what tangible immediate goal can this software 
accomplish for me?" as the primary method of determining value of a piece of 
software without us even questioning if that is the best method of determining 
software value. ..."

I like this guy already.
