Should You Start thinking SYSTEM

[Mortblanc]

You have to watch out for old Nutjobfancy. Every since he got that video camera for his birthday and learned to hook it to the computer he has been an expert on everything, with emphasis on the "spurt".

Systems are a good thing but they are ruled by a set of constants that must be included in any decision involving kit or people.

1. Anything that works will be used in progressively more challenging applications until it fails...Peter principal.

2. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong,,,at the most critical point in time...Murphy

3. No plan survives first contact with the enemy..Von Moltke

As an example, have you ever had a spare neoprene seal go bad sitting in the spare parts tray?
Ever opened a "sealed container" to find the parts inside rusted?

I have found that the most successful systems operate on the old Kiss" principle; Keep It Simple, Stupid!
