ok, you have a client who you've already finished the job for, who has a new
boss that decrees that all the web server default documents will be called
"default.*" rather than "index.*". With Hal's way, one change is made in
one place (MyGlobals.cfm). Your way, you have to reach into every template
of the entire app
ok here is an even better idea. In a fit of madness, you want to have have
two fuseboxes in the same directory. Both are already written, you jsut want
them to exist in the same spot. Hal's way, his madness is easily patronized.
One switch to one variable in one file, plus renaming one of his index.cfm
to default.cfm, or somesuch. Your way you descend further into the depths of
insanity.
