Zwuramunga

Been through THREE failed iterations

MANY problems.

#1 It Costs MORE money than management wants to pay to make it work well!

#3 Both #1 and #2 have been ignored numerous times resulting in three failed roll outs. Managements answer is to buy the next generation of dumb terminals without spending for the required bandwidth or service level agreements to make it useful.
