the whole world sees these numbers and screams of a "new era" and makes stupid decisions based off erroneous information. So what you're telling me is that all of these major corporations are buying IT systems that do nothing for their efficiency or productivity? They are spending 10s of billions of dollars on pipedreams and money-pit technologies because they haven't got anything better to do with that capital? They are going into debt to buy systems that only result in reduced earnings and revenue? And please don't refer to the dot.com mania. We knew the internutz were a speculative bubble. I'm talking about B2B and global integrated supply management exchanges. I'm talking about SCADA systems that drive automated manufacturing systems. I'm talking about JIT inventory management. Are these expenses or assets?
