David, I am surprised by this comment. Essentially you are saying that since it would be possible to design poorly with a given set of tools, we should not provide these design tools. Doing the hard stuff is what might give one product a competitive advantage over another. Doing it poorly is what should cause the market to reject a product. Murray Maloney, Esq.
