>For all of its supposed defects, at my last job they spent about two years and something like 28 million dollars to try to replace it with something they were told was "better" ... and they had to scrap the new app because it was not as fast as the Fox app. You see, the Fox apps ran in a 24-hour cycle and often had a window of mere minutes in order to run. No slowdown was acceptable. Not at my current location they are likewise replacing the Fox app because somebody told them something else was "better." OK I will not go into the old discourse about Fox. Whether it is or isn't this or that doesn't matter. I'm just starting to be amused at the insanity of it all.
