in reply to Paradigm shift between mainframes and servers

Out of curiosity, what was their reaction to your explanation? And what's wrong with taking 6 months either way ;)

    Their reaction was guarded, but optimistic. It is a major shift in their thinking. But, they were really happy with the idea that they would definitely be able to get it done in six months. *laughs*

    As for taking six months ... there's nothing wrong in doing that, except if all you have to show for your efforts is three weeks of work, you either suck and/or overengineered the effort. Neither is a "Good Thing"(tm).
