And I once heard that the best software programmer is an engineer ... there won't be many bells or whistles, no fancy graphics, just some code that mostly works ... but on the bright side it is good enough a lot sooner. Haha

There should be a point in every software project where all show-stopper risks have been identified and resolved (including new risks discovered in the process of resolving known risks). Forecasting delivery dates before reaching this milestone is like trying to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time, and pisses off the pig. 73, Dave, AA6YQ -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz]on Behalf Of Tim N9PUZ Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 10:38 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] update? Being involved in commercial products with a substantial software component I can see Flex's new position to be hesitant to keep estimating ship dates. "planned", "approximately", etc. quickly become dates cast in stone in the customer's mind. Often times it's only after a key issue is resolved that another will rear its ugly head. Issues related to the Flex 1500 USB driver have been cited as one of the show stoppers. Perhaps as the release gets closer a list of critical issues that must be resolved before boxes go out the door could be listed. 73, Tim N9PUZ (In the queue for a Flex 1500) _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ No virus found in this incoming message.
