<ROFL!>  I remember slapping development silly as a standard part of the
development process, actually.

Of course, we also had to slap product management silly ("No, really, we
need to be able to have 50 fields on this screen, with prompts that have to
be 40 characters to support internationalization.  And they all need to have
"(F4=Prompt)" on the right.  And the screen can't be busy.").

And there was the one step in the implementation plan that always said "A
MIRACLE OCCURS HERE".  My name was usually assigned to that box...
