yep. dealing with one of those solutions now. The guy who wrote it is "faster than me", no doubt. The difference is the system I wrote for the company works and the system he rewrote is currently being rewritten (by me) because we couldn't get it to work for more than day without blowing up in some manner. Maybe that isn't what's happening here, but speed isn't always the most important goal.
