So if you pull out a piece it won't run," Ballmer said. (from http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20020305/tc_nm/microsoft_d epositions_dc_3&cid=581) Wow. Guess I need to go back and update my software engineering training. Back in the 80s when I last took a class in the area, modular design was in. Among other things, that meant that it was quite easy to stub out some functionality for testing, etc. Scott ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
