He documented how IBM's punch card technology was critically important in allowing both Allied and Axis governments to function effectively during that time period.
On December 29, 2006 the Raleigh News and Observer printed a brief article from the Associated Press reporting that the German military had recently awarded a $9.3 billion contract to a consortium run by IBM and Siemens. "The project, code-named "Herkules," foresees the modernization of the administrative information technology system and of communication networks for the German armed forces." I have no idea whether this information has any relevance to the rumors reported above. _______________________________________________ To report a botnet PRIVATELY please email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] All list and server information are public and available to law enforcement upon request. http://www.whitestar.linuxbox.org/mailman/listinfo/botnets
