Eerily close to my life in 1999:

"His very first job? To write a white paper explaining the new technology. ... Management was indifferent to the idea’s actual development value, but had a keen sense of what played well with clients in Enterprise environments. These companies lived and breathed integration between wildly disparate technologies, many of which didn’t work, had never worked, and never would work."

Happily for me, it is now 2009.
