Hi Donna and Vicki,

Interesting link. I agree completely with the premise that government regs will mess up anything and everything!

Beyond this, not sure if I agree completely. To continue the automotive example, do we want to buy a car, or buy an engine from vendor 1, a transmission from vendor 2, and so forth? And then have the engine not really work right with the transmission? I fear that even "perfect" component systems may not integrate properly.

So a totally functional integrated system that is adequate may be superior to superb components that do not integrate well.
