Professionals who work on the basis of billable hours rarely take the time out to write an article for publication unless they have a valid reason for doing so.

Another step was taken this week in the tortuous case which the SCO Group initiated against IBM in March 2003 - but by no means is an end anywhere in sight to the company's misery. Unlike Neil Armstrong's historic statement, it is not a giant step for anyone.

Catching them young is a popular slogan and one
that yields dividends too, no matter whether one applies it to the
adoption of software or the learning of a language. And with a small
