	Seen that - and also s/J2EE/.NET/g or whatever fancy technology

	Sorry to quote someone who is on the list, but as Joe wrote last

for the failures'. The 'night stalker programmer' approach seems to work
well in my humble experience. Just be there when hell breaks loose with a
solution in hand, and make sure it works.
