There is a very interesting article about the future of technology. It is very long but worth looking at it and reading parts of it. The article can be found at http://aaxnet.com/editor/edit029.html
Below are few quotations just to get you in the mood. regards Gabor http://www.perl.org.il/ Microsoft promises integrated solution packages they assure the customer will all work together seamlessly to implement efficient new business processes resulting in huge contributions to profitability in an amazingly short time. Better yet, this is all pre-packaged and can be implemented and run by cheap, semi skilled labor rather than the expensive administrators required by other systems - it's all "point and click". "Nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft" Most small businesses don't call in a consultant until they have already decided on a course of action - they just expect the consultant to make what they have decided to do work. In truth, most consultants are happy to go along with this, because they can charge full rate for everything, and not get blamed for the choices. A system that "sort of works" generates a lot more consultant dollars than one that works (IBM Global Services favors Windows over IBM's own OS/2, because OS/2 works). ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
