[Elecraft] OT - Final edition before release

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

  The development of software reminds me of the following story.    I 
view software and to some extent, hardware, to follow this process.

As the story goes:   The city fathers were building a new government 
building and wanted to have impressive bronze doors at the entrances.   
In order to make their selections, they boarded a bus and traveled to a 
foundry that made bronze doors.   As they toured the foundry they 
observed the many steps used in the process of making the doors.   At 
the point they came to near the end of the process, they noticed a 
fellow that was polishing a very large door.  One of the city fathers 
stepped over to the fellow, admired the gleam of the  highly polished 
door, and asked "how do you know you are finished?". The old fellow 
never looked up, but kept on polishing, and replied "sonny, we never get 
through, they just come take it away".

And that's the story of software.
