I don't say this to get into a testosteron contest with you but my first IT job was in 1969 on an IBM 370-145 with punch cards. I have migrated mainframe to whatever, whatever to PC, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum to the tune of at least 50-60 full blown product migrations including different platforms, different operating systems, and different databases.

I thin Steve's approach is one that leads to income for people like me and were I hungry for more business I would send him flowers. His employer, however, might wish to rethink the skill set they employ.
