I've had a few clients in the past year worry about the size of a database, or anything that goes on disk.  I find this amusing.  Typically this worry has been for space less than 10GB.  You can purchase a 500GB drive for $150.00.  It' tempting to add a pair of these to my rig. Has anyone had to convince a client/boss about the benefits of a formal QA team that works closely with the development team?  If so, and if you were successful, how did you do it? I mentioned it briefly here. Fanzoo Technology has partnered with Optagen, Inc. to help develop a new product, optarad. I am very excited about this.  We are currently working on the alpha version.  We are working with some very exciting technology.  I hope to talk more about it soon, so stay tuned.
