Its a marketing document disquised as a case study - that's all it will ever be.

JVP reminds me of that gambler, Bobby Riggs(?), that would only play against skilled tennis players if coke bottles were substituted for proper tennis rackets. If you don't have the skills to make it - try changing the game so everyone appears as awkward as you:-). I might add that tennis associations have not yet subtituted coke bottles for the racket.

JVP may soon be leaving the software industry for a legal career. I just wish the degree plan was a bit more abbreviated. It will be sad to see him go.
