I agree with you on all counts. Actually, from design to finished product
usually is about 10 months, which, admittedly, is nothing, unless you are
PLANNING on putting out a crappy product. CM7000 had 4 programmers, CM8000 has 2
1/5 (one manager who has many other responsibilities). But, since they're GOOD
programmers, all with LOTS of CM experience, they usually can get (most of) the
job done (patches notwithstanding, of course)....
