Pretty much the state of IT today, I've recently been working on a "near sourcing" project where after two years of non-delivery a contractor team was assembled in the UK which completed the project in five months whereas two years prior produced zero.
whereas I would agree that our old colonial friends have attributes which might seem alien to us, modern technology has also played a part as far as I can see. I used Powerhouse (not so modern I know) for some time on an HP3000 platform and it was like trying to subdue a wild animal in a bag. One experienced user of it remarked to me that it was only designed to provide 80% of what was required!!!
