Rob, The exec tells the boss that, based on his best technical assessment, there is no way a certain chip will be ready by its target date, and he suggests moving the target date. The boss replies that there will be no delays: The chip must be ready on time and it will be ready on time, he says. End of meeting Sounds like every project I've ever heard of or worked on. This is straight out of the Dilbert management handbook. Scumbria

<http://www.eet.com/story/wolfes_den/OEG19990601S0011 Let me relate a little story I've been hearing. A well-placed microprocessor executive walks into the office of his boss, a capable leader who's known for his penchant for the outdoors. The exec tells the boss that, based on his best technical assessment, there is no way a certain chip will be ready by its target date, and he suggests moving the target date. The boss replies that there will be no delays: The chip must be ready on time and it will be ready on time, he says. End of meeting > I guess this is why the above mentioned exec exercised all his options recently, I hear. Kap.
