IT discussions
I've just had a discussion about 'possible' things in an IT sense.
Most things are possible. However the discussion usually goes:
User: <outlines ludicrous constraint>
Me: It's doable. It's non-trivial, but we could do it by <outlines high performance (e.g. expensive) technical solution to accomplish nearly impossible data transfer rates>
User: Ah, yes, that sounds good. What'll it cost.
Me: Well, you're going to need <rough rundown of high end techy toy shopping list> and of course, there'll be a few days development time to get it implemented and working correctly. So at a rough guess, that'll come to about <usefully large quantity of cash>
User: Ah. Hmm. Well, we might want to go for a cheaper option. What can I get for <infeasibly small budget given what they were wanting>?
Me: 2 pints of beer, a packet of crisps, and a bit of string with two tin cans attached. And I'll even throw in the derisive laughter at no extra cost. MWAHAHAHAHA!

Something's bound to come along and trample on it, but whilst it's here, I plan to enjoy it.
