Sounds very familiar. :)
No customer of our client will ever see or touch those devices, and if they would see them, they would probably run away in terror.
Yes. Real life development is a lot closer to "McGiver" than the "show case" labs featured in advertisements and company tours.
(And, in our show case lab, don't open the doors of the rack cabinets. It's not only a tangled nest of patch cables, but also an assortment of modified prototype boards providing functionality that even the vendor of the hugely expensive, LED-bejeweled hardware simulator can't figure out how to provide.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
