I keep telling my team that one way to reduce the number of problems with the product is to fail at our job. If no one can install it, users can never find any other problem to report!

Generally, if I can't install a product, I figure that the product itself is likely going to be difficult, too. Then I dump it. Perhaps unfair, but that's the way I work. I suspect many others to feel similarly. And that's the way my team works. Received on Wed Aug 22 2001 - 18:07:03 CDT
