>> They called in an outside insultant. This is either a great typo, or a hilarious moniker I have somehow missed (almost 40 years in the business). Either way, it's worth recognizing. Equal parts hilarious and accurate as "/in/con/sultants" are often brought in to play the part of the court jester -- they can speak the hard truths no-one else could, and survive. >>"Yes, but MY program ACTUALLY WORKS". If the program doesn't have to work, I could make it read 100 cards per second. I think I wrote a device driver like that, more than once. :( Fast as hell, to the point of outstripping the bitrate of the device it talked to, and about as useful as a sailboat on the moon.
