and only certain experts can make them iron their pants!
Sorry, I just coulnd't resist the rhyme... Seriously, though, I find all
kinds of layer 8 restrictions and accomodations of the previous guy's
f@#ked-up design and other such limitations when implementing customer
networks. In addition, there are almost always unreasonable time
constraints. I do not think that the lab is far out of step with reality at
all... at least not my reality.
