Exclamation Revising software

A touch off-thread-ish perhaps, but in today's SeattlePi is a report that Wall Street analysts reckon that, as Boeing's software did not predict the recent damage to the 787's wing-body junction, the FAA may require their whole CADCAM kit to be re-proved - i.e., going by the TP700 delay (my interpretation, not Morgan Stanley's), 787 first flight may be delayed until December, or even into 2010, and the flight test process could possibly not meet the "accelerated schedule" originally planned ...

(Mods, please feel free (as they say) to re-assign this post ...)
