Well, for example, you know, when you buy a PC, you know, a lot of people will say, okay, what is, you know, the scalability of this PC? For example, you can increase your RAM fairly easily. You can start with 32 meg of RAM and if you store more work, use that PC more, you know, you have a higher demand on your PC. You want speed or you want to go faster, you may want to extend your memory.

The same thing applies to our system development. You know, we choose a certain product. We choose a certain platform with certain applications. We have to ask ourselves, okay, this one meets our requirement right now. What about a couple years down the road...if we have more demand or the messages that need to be processed through this application change dramatically? Can this system accommodate that kind of demand? And that's what I mean, the scalability.
