Rob,
The only thing that U2 has missed over the last few years has been
sufficient development resources to bring its various processes up-to-date.
IBM was not reinvesting in U2 heavily, it was a cash-cow for them. What we
need is what Rocket software is talking about: investment in the
technology... SQL was invented in the earlt 70's!!

At some point, we will hopefully evolve beyond the "old = undesirable"
mentality that is pervasive in our society, and once again appreciate the
imagery that "old" things can evoke. As a technician with over thirty
years experience, I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey I have witnessed
since the days of the LP Player...to the iPod of today. What we largely
lack today is a sense of history relative to what it has taken for us to
progress to this point...and the imagination to achieve even more
phenomenal accomplishments in the future. Where once our thoughts were
expansive and limitless, they are now reserved and pedestrian. If someone
with a sense of history and a determination to use "Rocket" as a means to
evoke the imagery of a time when we thought in grander scales...then they
were sadly mistaken. The company should seriously consider changing its
name, otherwise they will be the butt of many a jokes.
My two cents
Rob
