Although this idea is good in principle, will the business world really welcome it. For example, if it takes one man 4 minutes to run one mile, how long will it take two men? Maybe the best approach would be one person creates the program, and one or more other people then perform a critique/walk-thru of that program. Again if the business world is willing to accept this idea and increase in budget, or increase in man-time to produce the final "product". >>> Scott Mildenberger <Smildenber@Washcorp.com> 12/10/01 01:47PM >>> I agree with you 100% here Leif.
