Sorry Tom, but where I come from when someone tells you something like, "as soon as we get a power supply..." at a point when they're 10 months away from having finished software, you are being lied to. When you're told a shipping date at a point when "nasty crashes and lock-ups...or card memory corruption!!" is even close to being an issue, you are being lied to. Maybe in the sunny love love land where you live, everyone tries very hard at their job and does a great job, but here in the real world, I find people that call themselves "project managers" or "marketing engineers" to talk out their ass on a regular basis. Setting unrealistic due dates is one of their greatest skills. I'd love to here an uncensored version of what's going on at Electrix from an engineer/software engineer. I'd bet we'd all have a nice chuckle. <nelson> Ha ha </nelson> Tom Ritchford wrote: > Mark "What did they know and when did they know it?"
