- Today's NYT Business Section had a small article about IBM falling 18 months
- behind on this project. Anyone know interesting details. This seems like a
- big problem in a very large piece of software that Mr/Ms J Q Public deals with
- daily in a safety-critical application area. I haven't heard other problems of
- this magnitude discussed in public.
