That was great, thanks. A coworker of mine added another to the list. CONSULTANT COWS You hire a systems consultant to produce 2 cows. After spending three times the amount of time and money originally promised, the consultant delivers the cows. One of them is dead. The consultant assures you that this is a normal occurrence under the circumstances and besides, you really only needed the one cow anyway. The consultant collects his fee and leaves. After he is gone, you discover the remaining cow is actually a bull. The most embarrassing thing is that the discovery is only made during a milking demonstration being given in front of all the would-be dairy product recipients. You are forced to give up on the project and consider udder alternatives. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forum Systems PRESIDIO: PGP / XML GATEWAY APPLIANCE The Presidio integrates PGP data encryption and XML Web Services security to simplify the management and deployment of PGP and reduce overall PGP costs by up to 80%.
