I guess that means Colorado is ahead of Oregon. So far, neither
man nor beast is enrolled in Oregon.

Do they still have that town wide 'fest in Mt Angel OR, where all the
shop names are in German and some families still dress in old world
attire, as a matter of course? Now, THAT was an Oktoberfest!

I have no idea. My old friend, who lived in Portland, died in 2011.
He was the one who kept me abreast of the goings on up there. I have
not been up that way since the late 70's.

From that article...
"We took a four- or five-year project and tried to condense it into
two, two-and-a-half years," King said. "We're not broken, it's just
not done."

What BS. How can anyone think that developing a web site for the
simple task of displaying the dozen options and facilitating the sign
up could possibly take more than a year or two. Jesus, this country
put a man on the moon in not much more time than the 5 years they want
to develop a gd web site.

Hi,
Easy said than done. You may say displaying the dozen options. From that
dozen there can be many different cases and conditions with many
questions and answers then some more..... I used to work for CGI after
I retired from Honeywell in a support role. Why do you think there
are so many program/system analyst every where? Just look at Windows
OS(it is just an OS, not an apps.) how many fixes and patches are being
issued almost daily? So again easy said than done. Have you ever seen
bug free anything(software, hardware, firmware) in IT business from day
one? If you know one, name it please. And also consider human error
factor using it.
