Sounds like those head hunters who assure me that I could get more work if I would just lower my price to that of an entry level or lower worker. Sure, I could. But who would feed the family? Entry-level workers "usually" don't have the company expenses that we have. Now, to the absurdity of the comment itself: If the cost of the software is $1M and the cost of failure is $30M or $50M or $100M then the cost of the software is low. If the cost of failure is $1M then, obviously, you don't invest $1M to save $1M unless the problem MUST be done and the revenue greatly exceeds that of the cost of the software. (I can't imagine a problem where the cost of failure is $1M and the revenue would be $30M but I suppose someone will point that out to me should I make that assumption.) Good luck with the nattering nabobs of negativity. :-) SDG jco Paul:
