Jeffry, You said " Or Management from workers?" Reminds me of a classic case from the mid 80's at a job in a galaxy far far away: The IT Director went off to an IBM dog & pony show without taking any of his "workers" with him. (Read: strategist without tacticians.) They sold him the whole bridge on the IBM QuietWriter "silent" printer/typewriter and the IBM DisplayWrite word processor. The director committed on the spot to converting the whole office (> 1,500 people, don't know how many wp users tho). But he never discovered that the DW program did NOT have a driver for the QW printer! While it was possible to get it to work, it was without most of the features, and the entire clerical staff darn near burned him at the stake. (and he would have deserved it!) Ironically, right after that we were acquired, and the new parent made us convert back to the former word processing program, which DID have a driver for the IBM QW printer (while IBM's program still didn't...). Makes me VERY skeptical about pre-release promises... -Ben -----Original Message----- From: Jeffry Houser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 11:05 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: .NET resources At 09:45 AM 08/16/2001 -0500, you wrote: >I agree wholeheartedly.
