Rather than listing pros and cons with regard to our products, which would
be inappropriate on the list, I suspect, I'll just say that Verity began
shipping the first commercial Web robot about two years ago... and you'd do
well to look at our Web tools before making a final decision.

We have an office in the Netherlands (Utrecht, I believe) -- 31-30-662-2101.
