Au contraire.

Perhaps when used as your describe, Marcus, that software isn't so 
valuable.  OTOH, for remote debugging, set-up and so on, it can be 
invaluable.  Whenever our engineers go to do a site set-up, they know 
they can always get someone here to help them via browser-based 
conferencing.

Very valuable and useful for more then the sellers originally 
envisioned.  Interesting sidelight on the discussion I think.
