where did you get 1997? I found that bizarre..most of the date
problems were put back in the sixties because of lack of space and assumption that those systems would be replaced way before 2000
as an aside how much time have you wasted with trying to reach a company for information and going from one menu to another and then finally being put on hold for a human..how much time is actually
spent at businesses trying to undo glitches or constant computer training and updating and having to freeze while networks are down..
ecommerce is fantastic for competition..but totally lousy for bottom line..until enough businesses are driven out of business but...
If Asian companies get their acts together and we really have global
shopping via the net..watch out for all the US corps who have been using cheap foreign labor,increasing the trade deficit for cost savings..if foreign corporations start selling their own light bulbs,
computers,clothes etc instead of making them US corps..wow a whole
new ballgame.. then it would be also interesting to hear about
"productivity"
please explain the part about productivity..
