[Yr11 Information Technology] Census website fail 'will have profound impact on Australian...

Hi, witch hunters

If you have a free period, here's some fun.
Type "blame IBM" into Google and see what you get.

You might see everything from "No one ever got fired for buying IBM
<http://corporatevisions.com/blog/2007/06/11/no-one-ever-got-fired-for-buying-ibm/>
"

to "Census failure will have far-reaching consequences
<http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-16/census-failure-will-have-far-reaching-consequences/7749446?utm_medium=email&utm_source=flipboard>
."

And "IBM has already been banned
<http://www.itnews.com.au/news/queenslands-ibm-ban-lives-on-420969> from
being allowed to work with Queensland State departments after its A$1.25
billion payroll failure in 2013."

Don't times change?
And dominos fall...

And come to think of it, where exactly *are* market leaders like Borland
(makers of the revolutionary IDE for Turbo-C), UNIX, WordPerfect, Novell,
and Nokia nowadays?

Regards,
Mark
