That seems to depend on what you want to accomplish. Thanks to Rusty and Jonathan, I have personally accomplished things I have been thinking of for the last 5 years. And as to what I have achieved; Something unique in my profession on a worldwide scale: Bringing together all mailing lists relating to my profession and publishing them over the web. All this was made possible AND very eay to setup thanks to TF and OAT.
To sum up: Computers and software are tools to help us achieve things. If they are the right tools or not depends on what you are trying to achieve. For my aims TF and OAT were the best tools. For yours, you are the best person to decide.
