And what a 'weak knee'd' approach it is too, isn't it Del?

When we hear the term, we often mistakenly assume an application of intelligence and understanding to the process. When a design department can alter nothing more than the number of hinges holding the main lid section to the case, things are bad. This has happened. You'd really feel like you'd achieved something wouldn't you? Just imagine, you get home from work after a hard days slog. "What did you do today honey?" "I redesigned a piano at work" "Oh that's interesting, tell me more" "I took the design of our concert grand into the 21st century." "How did you achieve that dear?" "I reduced the number of hinges holding the lid to the case from four to three. You wouldn't believe how it improved its power to weight ratio at fff." Fun isn't it, being part of a world class design department. Warning - the opinions proffered above may or may not represent the opinions of the author.
