A TA program -- and any computer program for that matter -- can't be created with the idea that there's a final product, like a toaster. Brooke, I met Gary in Cleveland and think that his program is the greatest. I just disagree with the way that most software products are developed. If through beta testing or whatever, you come up with a list of features that you want in a program, you set the scope of the project and work toward an end date. If other "better ideas" come up along the way, you hold them for the next version. You do not keep on putting off a release date just to add new features. There is nothing wrong with a new version every month, so long as each one is a finished product. It took a long time for me to accept the fact that any project has to have a defined scope and once the scope is set, you do not change it unless you find a fault. You finish one project and move on to the next step to make the first project even better. I am working every day to improve manufacturing processes that I thought that I perfected over 25 years ago. We make things better every day, but we finish each project on time. --- webb blackman ---
