Back to you Nic. How about tracking this one down. I remember Richard Vowles
telling us this one first, so he may know where the story came from. My
recollection is that the shock of the gun firing caused the computers to
reboot (no mention of EMP), and that the computer was used for targetting,
and thermal image recognition, etc, hence the DB. Still, who knows. The
original story had MS SQL Server as the Army's original choice, and
Interbase being brought in to replace it because SQL Server (in those days)
took several minutes to reboot.
Simon.
