- Comment:
-
- The bad news it that the situation happened and we're annoying customers.
- The good news is that the monolith is a lot more capable of hearing those
- complaints, even when they are voiced in places where the old IBM wouldn't
- have ever bothered listening.
-
- I'll forward additional word, as I here it.
