        The more things change...

        Consultants who gouge customers is pretty much a given with any segment 
of computing. I remember a company I did some work for who wasted several years 
and untold $$ with a consulting organization that promised to move them to 
Microsoft DNA back in the 90s. Finally management tossed them out with nothing 
to show for it. Fast forward a few years and another consulting group was hired 
to move them to the world of .Net. Guess how that story ends.

        The problem isn't the technology; the problem is incompetent management 
that just likes to spend their big budgets and pad their resume so that they 
can jump to a more lucrative job before the house of cards they are building 
collapses.
