a "web" of inconsistencies?

I mean sure, no two of those web sites powered by the 3000 look alike, but
you can hardly blame that on the 3000, can you?

Poorly documented?

Oh. Right. I forgot. The source code isn't publicly available.

Obsolete technologies?

Oh. Yeah. Those really old binaries that someone compiled back in the
sixteen bit days that still run today without being recompiled.

and on and on?

Must mean all those funny things we can do, that no one else can... Like
incorporate new technologies that eventually become someone's standard,
while not abandoning our legacy.

Gee, I hope that our HP members are laughing big time. It was a pretty funny
post.

      The systems you are talking about are a "web" of inconsistencies, hard
to trace, hard to research, hard to manage, poorly documented, of very
cumbersome design, full of holes, obsolete technologies and on and on,
