...an out of context portion of my post...
So it's
not your contention that cutting-edge technology is demanded in the huge business computing market? Then we're in agreement! Sorry I misinterpreted the larger, in-context meaning.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what that is. "Technology that generates orders from the top down, not requests from the bottom up?" Huh? As for Y2K and readily-available money, the point is that resources were not poured into anything remotely cutting-edge; they were poured into patching code that had been around for decades, written in a programming language invented in
1959.
