How many of you get... or have had... jobs with remote
companies, where the company
a) planned and allowed enough time in their schedule that
real working hardware and software would exist before
a reasonable documentation schedule began and
b) sent you one or more devices that they normally sell
for upwards of USD25000, so that you could actually
work with what you were documenting?
