WSPS.
It is all about being adaptable and being able to learn quickly. Factors which have always limited AtW, him being slower than a stunned slug and thicker than a Hippo Sandwich!!

At the end of the day it's just a starter for me. Will still need to gather reqs.

The power of Googles search engine is frankly incredible. Wheni started out, no Internet to really speak of. No Amazon! Heading down to specialist book stores desperately buying up techie books.

What would we do without it???

An hour later. Google now only finds me all the background, but an entire data warehouse design and an entire Oracle White paper with 'best practice' reports.

Now that's a search engine and not a bloody squirrel in sight!
