'We had the workshops in January. ... where they'd apologised for what went wrong with version I. I mean, that to be fair you could live with because you know that the first version of something as big as that is going to have teething problems. But, we had a workshop, sorted things out, it was going to be all super-duper when we had version II, we wouldn't notice the switch. ... we had the situation a week before it was due to go live, Keith ran some elementary checks, found all sorts of things wrong and he and I had a conference call with Kevin and said, look if you want to put it back, having already put it back a month, if you want to put it back another couple of weeks, ... to do some more checks, I'd rather you did that than launch something that is going to fail. He went away and came back half and hour later and said it's alright, all those things that Keith found wrong, we've found wrong and put right anyway. It will be fine and then went ahead and launched it. And within three weeks they had over 100 problems and bugs. And it took about 6 months to get that on version I.'X055 page 001.08b (tape 01.2.01b) Jenny Notes/Tape 24/08/94
