Jo Ann,

In reference to another thread on this list, yes, speed rules!  And I
don't care what the position is on the questionaire.

I've never been told to monkey proof an application, but have been
explicitly told to idiot proof it.  Unfortunately, idiots are waaaayyyy
too creative :-)

Now how did this decision maker, having the good/fast/cheap triangle at
their disposal, manage to only pick one?!  Didn't anyone ever tell them
that they get to pick two?

It must have been double good! =;-}

 After pouring three million dollars!!! into this system, they said 'we
can't work like this, take some stuff out!'  So, yes, bug-free (both
program logic and user interface) is possible, as I am fond of saying
'Anything is possible with enough time and money!' - Jo Ann
