Here’s the deal, when you manufacture products with software they need care and feeding like a baby. They poop, puke and cry. They get drunk, steal cars, knock up the neighbor. They need to be educated, corrected, disciplined.
You are constantly cleaning up bugs, (in the past, reducing code size or making it faster) adding features, testing and more testing, working on inter-op. Trying to catch and replicate weird stuff customers complain about. Software is born, it lives, it dies. It is never ever done. So each new product is like adding another kid to the shoe. But for those that have had kids, you know that it never ends. They still need attention and resources and money no matter how old they get. As a one man shop with about 40 software dependent products, I found that I was spending 100% of my time debugging, fixing, featuring, inter-op massaging etc instead of developing new stuff.... which is where the fun is. I quit doing it about 2003. I have to resist the urge to do it again (right now thinking of adding zigbee or some such thing to my high bay LED systems). And I have another fun project in the works that has software. Not sure if and when it will get leaked. So, have some compassion for Forrest. He is up to his belt line with dirty diapers at times I imagine. Schedules skip.

Forrest, my man, if you made an integrated 12 to 16 port unit with gui controls per port where we dump either a massive 48v or 120v into and we use the gui to define the outputs, id give you my Old lady, she might be a little rusty and used, maybe a little worn, but she can cook ok, and she cleans like a champ. Imp putting up 2 10/100 injectors with 48v tommorrow, 3 epmp ap and a 320, burning 4 ports, and i have 2 epmp force 200 for backhaul i cant run on unit 2 since i dont have any 30v power supplies too keep them from freezing at 24 volts.
