Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostYep, there have been no regional newspapers in the Netherlands today because the publisher's IT system is fooked. A couple of years ago they sacked their whole IT department and outsourced to a big local company, who in turn outsourced to some crazy combination of Bobland and Elbonia. They've obviously saved a lot of money there. They still don't know if they can get the papers out tomorrow, and if the weekend edition is lost then it costs serious money. By the way, regional newspapers are much more important in NL than in the UK; most people get a regional delivered every day and pay for it, and advertisers pay serious money, so that's a lot of turnover down the drain. At least 10 million euros and counting.

I would thank you personally, but I didn't see who the poster was when I scrolled past it and I ain't going back for a look-see!

I'm ashamed to work with it. What a stinking pile of stinking tulip.
