Re: Re(2): The future of computing

Chris,

Another way of looking at this issue ...

How likely do you think it is that the dept head or company officer who is 
accepting the 2nd rate solution from the scheming vendor is themself making the 
decision based on their own self interest?

By self interest I mean either outright kickback, nepotism, cronyism, etc. Or 
that their only interest is in having the computer system under their control 
so that they can control the inputs into the system and hence control what is 
reported up to corporate.

In my experience, the further up the chain of command you go in a company, the 
more decisions are made in the self interest of the decision maker.

I believe there is a reason for everything. If it looks like someone is making 
a dumb decision, well, you probably dont know all the reasons.

Stay the course.
