RE: Two persons per product"

["alan shore" <SHOREA@xxxxxxxx>]

Although this idea is good in principle, will the business world really welcome 
it.
For example, if it takes one man 4 minutes to run one mile, how long will it 
take two men?
Maybe the best approach would be one person creates the program, and one or 
more other people then perform a critique/walk-thru of that program.
Again if the business world is willing to accept this idea and increase in 
budget, or increase in man-time to produce the final "product".

I agree with you 100% here Leif.  Even with the last sentence :)
