Ah yes, the result of: "You guys start coding, I'll go find out what they
want." :-)

I will have to admit to an old programming axiom:
"Within every complex program there is a simple one struggling to get
out." :-)

Actually, it is a result of another programming axium. "The customer
never knows exactly what he wants but he does know what he does not want
once he sees it." :-)

Ain't it the truth. One program I was tasked to maintain was 9000 lines
long. By the time I finished, it was 3700 lines, did three times the
work, didn't keep crashing, giving strange answers, and we no longer had
to keep a single programmer maintaining it full time.

Consultants!
