Consider >the cost claims concerning the Olympics web site. Were those real? To be honest, I think they might have been "real". Naturally they were expenses that could have been avoided due to doing it right in the first place, but it is true that "retrofits" are _always_ costly. $2M and nearly a year's worth of person-hours may indeed be reasonable if we're talking about a complete overhaul of an inaccessible web site. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/
