You mean the Brits never established 'post codes' in Hong Kong - pretty slack if you ask me! :-) Oh well another year almost over -- is the time between New Year celebrations getting shorter???? :-) BTW - you'd think a customer with 20,000 MIPS on the floor and another 17,000 in a warehouse in HKG (waiting for a new data centre) would have some clout with IBM??
