Exactly, I find myself needing to use this quote all too often but it is a wonderfully well considered statement on product engineering.

  Really? I have a lot of hay, and it grows in my field for free. Horse manure goes well on my roses. I don't have petrol. I really did want a faster horse.

    You're in luck: Maximum-speed horses are indeed still available.

      Indeed, if you have the money - you can buy racing speed horses and in many countries it's still legal to ride them on the road while abiding standard road rules and avoiding highways. (The term 'Enterprise Horse' came to mind and I had a giggle)

        Enterprise Horse you say? You want a Suffolk Punch boiy[sic][1]! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffolk_Punch https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffolk_Punch [1] boiy, or some spelling there of, is how old fellas round these parts (Suffolk, England) like to refer to each other. :)

          There is of course the concept of a "Young" old Boy

            A very good point. For anyone wondering what a proper young old boy sounds like I would suggest the following factual and totally legit documentary on the storm of 1987 ...as described by one "Brian from Melton":- https://vimeo.com/130537730 https://vimeo.com/130537730
