Jim,

Great article to bring to everyone's attention.  I completely believe  
that to be a successful developer, one must have a well rounded  
background in areas outside of programming.  The ability to generate  
and analyze data about competitors, customers, and market conditions  
creates long term viability.  I have passed this link on to others in  
the field.
