Can you belive they spent *millions* and still do it that way. We even have mst of the items you idscussed. I'd love to forward this to the power's that be but I would be slapped silly for "getting outside the box". I'm just a lowly consultant who is often viewed as a threat because I actually understand this technology.
Before you ask - they pay very well, it is very steady (8 yrs) and I get to do some side work that satifies the tech geek in me.
