Roger, I mentioned this in the Zitel thread in response to BG, but since you run a tech company, I wanted your opinion. Am I way off base, or shouldn't everyone immediately have laughed when Zitel announced a 99+% auto-remediator? Like I said before, this is a basic "find and replace" program, along the same lines as a spell checker. Now, having been given over 20 years to refine something that basic, they still tell me my name (in a programmed letter template space reserved for names no less) is mispelled. Yet these folks (longs) actually appear to believe a far more complicated bit of coding (given the quirks of the original programmers)can be created in a few years, with a near 100% accuracy rate. Jeez. 70-85% I might buy, but near perfect? Am I overasuming the programming problem (I do Web scripting/design...and am only now learning Java, after a 10 year hiatus from any programming since high school...I could easily be way off base)?
