Failures are to be expected and prepared for-but you'd be suprised at the number of people who think something*can't*go wrong,and freak when it does,because they don't have a backup in place,or any way to deal with an emergency. Computer modelling is fine,and gets better every day, but,as of now, can't replace the field/beta/smoke tests. One or two fubars in the testing of a given idea doesn't mean the idea is bad-it may just needs the bugs worked out. Reminds me of the "parts guys" in any maintenance field-the one who know how to replace part, but not MacGyver up something when necessary..Scott
