Take off your "it has to work for all environments, or at least my
environment" blinkers for a minute. Your stance is at least as
unrealistic for Tony's environment as his is for yours.
Hmm, it seems a whole slew of emails got postponed. I think Tony and I
came to an agreement on this earlier.
As I previously noted, I'm not asking Tony to live in my world. I only
encouraged some clarity. To stay on topic, I can lament that the world
has moved away from rebuildable, fixable systems into disposable HW, SW,
etc., and that's a shame. What makes it awkward is folks like myself
who lament that, and yet on Monday, I'll make decisions that will no
doubt widen that gap.
