#157204 - not since the '60's ... well, maybe the '70's
Responding to: ???'s previous message
My point, Jan, was that if you can't easily write 'em down, you don't know what the requirements are. If you don't know, then you'll never meet 'em. If it's a hobby project, then it's simple enough that you can write 'em down on a few sheets of a legal pad. If it's a serious project, like a space station or so, then the requirements will fill a boxcar or two, or, in the case of the space station, a couple of 747's, since redundancy is required.

He's putting out an RFP, but has no criteria.

                        how many are you going to make?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        It is not just a voltage            01/01/70 00:00      
                  We want to keep it simple            01/01/70 00:00
