> Fujitsu UK Post scandal...
As an aside, I suspect Fujitsu is getting a bit of a raw deal here. I get the feeling this software was developed during, and (ahem) "vigorously defended" mostly by staff left over from, the time when the company was still Imperial Computers Limited. Fujitsu only bought ICL sometime early this century (IIRC), and now their name is forever firmly attached to this debacle. I wonder how many Brits currently think "Huh, 'Fujitsu'? Damn Japanese, all the furriners' fault!" about this very much home-grown British clusterfuck?
