An omelette, promised in two minutes, may appear to be progressing nicely. But when it has not set in two minutes, the customer has two choices-wait or eat it raw. Software customers have had the same choices. The cook has another choice; he can turn up the heat. The result is often an omelette nothing can save-burned in one part, raw in another.
