What a wonderful world in 2010 where we all love a company that makes proprietary applications running on a proprietary operating system tightly bound to proprietary hardware telling us we can't run any other software that doesn't play by the rules of the master. Makes me miss the days of IBM, at least back then we all knew what was really going on.
I spent New Years working for my client and all went okay, as it should. I didn't get as much as a thank you or job well done. I did get paid:) It is human nature to not be able to appreciate the absence of something, such as the absence of Y2K chaos, the absence of a hurricane, global disaster, etc. Yet that is the end result of a conservatively estimated $200+ billion dollars spent worldwide in the last few years. Is it possible we could apply this same level of commitment to other problems where the good is its absence, such as world hunger, global warming, etc? If that is the case I would gladly miss another holiday, and this time it will be more than just so my tcom client can complete their phone calls.
