Re: ANON: Feature Incomplete Training Issues

[Robert Bennett <RBENNETT -at- TECHDATA -dot- COM>]

Anon:

I suggest that you forget the software and do the training based on the
storyboards (I know you don't really have any, but make some.)  The software
(vaporware, in this case) will not be ready.  It never is.

If someone whines about it, suggest that s/he run the vaporware to accompany
your storyboard presentation.  If it works, fine.  If it doesn't, two
wonderful things happen:

1. Whoever is running the vaporware looks like a fool; you don't.
2. While der vapormeister is rebooting, you calmly turn back to your
storyboard and continue with the presentation.

With forked tongue in both cheeks,

Bob
