Werner,
I agree that a good design in no more expensive than a bad design and in
fact a good design should be much less expensive. However, you need to
define what you mean by expense. If you're talking the overall cost
which includes returned bad product and warranty repair then what you
say is true. The problem I see in the design community is that there
are fewer designs allocated to design, fewer design reviews by cross
functional team, a lack of accountability, and an emphasis by management
to minimum reduce the design cycle, get to market quicker, and reduce
the up front cost (design, materials, and assembly). Good designs are a
tall order when emphasis is put on the up front expenses.

Hi Bev & George,
I am in agreement with you when we discuss quality; however, the laptop
issues I have seen are primarily an inadequate design problem. Good
design is no
more expensive than bad design-in fact it can be argues that good design
is much
cheaper. all it takes is people that know what they are doing and
management supporting them-I know, I know....tall order.
Werner
