Lot of people assume mfg is easy. It is incredibly hard, and everybody sweats blood over it. Every little change is a nightmare domino of other "little" changes. Apparently trivial changes have ginormous costs. Just like when a non-programmer goes "What could be hard about adding feature X? Add the button, a little bit of code behind it, done!". I find that annoying, so I avoid doing the same to hw people. Apple manages to make mfg easy and cool, but behind the scenes, man do they toil... cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
