The reason I usually hear: It used to be that your people's resources were inexpensive compared to hardware. When it turned the other way around (especially for PCs), development shifted dramatically to reflect the change. Spending the additional resources to write "higher-quality" code just didn't pay anymore. Good enough was, well, good enough (and cost a lot less). ~ Daniel ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is the property of Time Inc. or its affiliates.
