Learning by... Avoiding mistakes

[Phil Davis]

Richard,

I would love to see a (YouTube?) video of you or Mark or someone doing 
the planning thing with note cards. I have never done it but it sounds 
like a good way to go. I too gave up flowcharting years ago for most 
projects, but sometimes I still run into something that demands that 
kind of planning.

Thanks -
Phil
