More like I was trying to keep my response short ;-). I think we're all in agreement on pretty much everything:
1. Understand your problem
2. Find potential solutions
3. Find the technical, economic AND situational tradeoffs
4. Choose the best course of action
My original comment was directed at item #3. I was trying to remind everyone that a simple cost analysis may point to
solutionsthat simply aren't possible, given business constraints.
I know we also agree that we should constantly fight corporate stupidity and short-sighted budgetary oversight. But
that'sa second battle, one that goes on forever. Sometimes you just have to get the job done within the current
constraints.
'Nuff said.
Craig
