momentous, I shall have a big party today, then on friday, shit, another one on monday, then the 22nd, what a blast! I bet people over the past 100 odd years are kicking themselves.
I personally have worked with Anderson Consulting on several occassions, and I have to say that my experiences are not good.
They somehow manage to get contracts in many fields, including technology, but are rarely skilled in those areas (even the people who work specifically in technology).
Granted, they are normally smart people, but you can't commission people to do work on the premise that they will pick it up as they go along, they should know the stuff at the start, this is apparently why large corporations pay around $2000 a day for anything over a junior consultant.
In a similar way, can we really listen to their reports on eCommerce? Surprising isn't it that 25% of transactions fail!? If I was sceptical I would say that this is very similar to the tried and tested Anderson trick of convincing people that something is wrong when it isn't really, and then also managing to persuade people to pay them to write a full report on the subject, and then pay them more to fix it. I myself buy all books online, electronic products, flights, etc and have never had a problem. Maybe Anderson thought that a representative sample might contain several jackassforless.com sites run by 1 person out to make a quick buck, but then, do they really know any better?
With all these problems in the world of eCommerce its refreshing to know that we have AC getting to the root of the problem - I bet they are just the people the fix it for us.
I am currently working on a port of Linux to the Sinclair ZX81. I am not sure if this has been attempted before, but as I have not done much research on the topic, I don't know. If you can help me with any details, such as what Linux might need from the cassette player or the toilet roll printer, please add your comments. Also, if you have any reason why you think what I intend to do is impossible, please let me know.

Does anyone know a good browser for the Spectrum ZX81?
Thank you, some people these days, no sense of humour...
