Another business that needs to run to the library for "I.T. Wars: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium." The irony is, Amazon sells it. I urge every business person and IT person, management or staff, to get hold of a copy of this book. Our CEO has read it. Our project managers are on their second reading. Our vendors are required to read it (they can borrow our copies if they don't want to purchase it). Any agencies that wish to partner with us: We ask that they read it. Do yourself a favor and read this book - then ask your boss to read it - then ask your staff and co-workers to read it. If you get a chance, read the author's interview here: http://www.businessforum.co...

https://www.amazon.com/ can be reached but attempt to go anywhere else and you get a error message. Most important of all, you can't buy anything or access your shopping basket.
And this didn't start this morning, I tried and couldn't make any purchases last night.

I laugh because the legacy phone system I maintain for BOA is being replaced with a Cisco VOIP system. All voice and data on the net. The legacy system has been running, without interruption since 1982. The new VOIP system has already crashed, after six months.
