See my later comments on the skills issue along with Aaron's addressing of them. Keeping up in a moving target world of skills, as pc development is, is a challenge and perhaps even more with a small company. Not only does a limited size staff have to do the work of rewriting and developing and programming, but they also have to learn the programs, operating systems, architectures, and the other anomalies that go with everything. My comment had nothing to do with ability rather with the need and time requirements to keep up with it all. That, in and of itself, could become a fulltime job; and with 3 people to do it all, this is far more of a challenge than say a MSFT or HPQ where the workload can be divided over hundreds and thousands of individuals. Frankly, I give Aaron and the rest of the GWMicro crew my applause for somehow doing that great juggling and balancing act and am amazed at how much gets accomplished. After all, what they might have learned in programming a decade or 2 back may be irrelevant today and they require the time (always a prevciouin college has changed entirely, and getting the time to keep those skills up-to-date could be a major challenge. And doing this requires time which, to some degree, can be reflected in rolling product out the door.
