<snip> Tony Said Here's another common issue in this forum: People express a desire for a solution but what they really want is a free solution that they can use, understand, and maintain on their own. I'm sorry but when you're faced with complex issues, be prepared for solutions that you may not understand, and be prepared to pay for solutions or consulting time from people who understand how to solve the problems you express. You (all U2 IT people) are getting paid for your expertise by a company that is obviously spending lots of money on the IT infrastructure. By insisting you need everything for free and on your own terms you're just perpetuating the belief of your management that you don't need a budget while everyone else in the company apparently does - and they get it. MV development is cheap and easy. But when you need to interface with the outside world, you're not doing MV development any more and you need to face the same budgetary and educational concerns as anyone else who works with the same technologies.
I just think MV people in general need to stop thinking that somehow they're going to magically understand everything when everyone else needs to go to school, and that BASIC will solve every problem. These beliefs are self-defeating for this entire market. </snip> Loving it _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
