Gerry: We agree. It seems like Mr. Bemer should have worked out the ideosynchrasies before going public with the information. I don't understand his willingness to oversimplify this situation. And, there just aren't any solutions to some of the gotcha's that will be encountered. I was heavily involved in the design and development of one of the proprietary tester/debuggers, so I know what gotcha's are there. The companies that developed and support those products have full time staffs working on them constantly, so even the ones that have been in business for 15 plus years still haven't worked out all the gotcha's. If Mr. Bemer has done it, then he's truly a genius and deserves to make a mint off his creation. I, for one, would like to see a silver bullet that would fix this problem. We need one to avoid the financial disaster that faces the nation and the world. But, it ain't gonna' happen. Good luck, TED

Gerry: Another thought that just occurred to me .. The tech wizards at MatriDigm thought they had come up with the best thing since indoor plumbing, and praised the 'genius' of Dr. Franklin Chiang. But, at the very first Beta site, they ran into some code that had already been made partially Y2K compliant. Their product choked. What a ridiculous oversight !! Sometimes, when you're too close to the trees, you can't see the forest. Until it starts to burn. TED
