No! (and THANKS for raising hand in support of Joe, btw...:-)

But I've worked in companies from $10M (USD) to $30B.  Worked with and for
management and grunts alike.  WAS "D.P. Manager/quasi-CIO/janitor" of a
company that grew from < $100M to $500M using the systems We put together.

What I'm stating, as fact or opinion, is that the more decades You've put
into a career and the higher up You go in an organization (ie the less
mobility), the HARDER it is to make TOUGH decisions that don't APPEAR
OBVIOUSLY correct.

And MANY actually MAKING the purchase decisions these days are either
dweebs/geeks/propeller-heads (and the difference is?), or non-coders who
have not been well-informed.

Icbw, of course, so's I guess that makes it opinion...;-D
