Just a quick response to Fred....

I know that there is a tendency of many to vilify the IT Community, and
that many sometimes fail to acknowledge that there are both very
responsible, and sometimes irresponsible IT professionals.

My bottom line is that everyone in a profession that "advises" senior
management has an obligation to advise that senior management about both
the benefits and potential risks of decisions that they may make.
Rather than "falling in love" with a new technology of any type, a more
balanced approach is certainly in order.

In all fairness to the much-vilified IT community, it is under constant
pressure from executive management to (1) pull another
organisation-saving rabbit out of the hat, and (2) produce more with
fewer resources.

Oh, as we have seen in the on-going economic catastrophe, executive
management will itself turn over in short order (it's called "leading by
example").
