Re Conversations with Dave

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Much of what you say jibes with my own thinking, esp. "...we are just now actually getting smart about the legacy..."

I prompted my students with a question this morning.

"How does one prevent legacy?"

Yesterday I prompted them with:

1. What needs to be considered when planning a move from a legacy system to a new system?
   
   
2. What must be the characteristics of the new system such that we minimize the chances that it turns into a legacy system?
   

Which suggests a great dissertation for an aspiring doctoral candidate.

Hhhhhmmmmm, one more thing to think about.
