: "Could you have POSSIBLY make it ANY more complicated?"
: Tony Norman of Innovation First fame upon seeing CD6
: One of our lessons learned this year will almost certainly be to do less. This is one of those lessons that has to be learned over and over again.
: Each year we think we are just that much smarter than we were the prior year. At times we are too clever for our own good.
: I know for a fact that we should have listened to the advice I gave so passionately to rookie teams at the the Chief Delphi Rookie Camp:
: THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN ENGINEER INTO YOUR MACHINE THAT TRUMPS DRIVE TIME! A SIMPLE MACHINE FINISHED EARLY WILL ALWAYS BEAT AN ENGINEERING MARVEL THAT THE DRIVE TEAM HAS NEVER DRIVEN.
: The words burn my eyeballs as I read them.
: As a recovering Die-hard Cubs fan, I can say with only mild irony, "Wait 'til next year"
: Joe J.
