Tried to practice what I was preaching. On a prototype* this weekend, we were evaluating the prototype success vs. packaging space. Notice we needed to change a key element. Made a 2nd (and a third) version of that key element so we could keep the first one as "the standard". We had some un-expected results, though with afterthought these results made sense.*
*I have the utmost respect for vagueness and secrecy when showing off. When it comes to "help", the more details the better. IE if you want to help others giving details is more useful, and if you want help from others, details are needed. There are few things more frustrating than: "help us figure out whats wrong with our prototype!!!!! I can't give you details, but it doesn't work the way we want. What can we do to fix it???!!!!???!!!"
