'Now I've got to say in amongst all this I think we had quite a bit of luck as well. ... Now, because we were using, doing all this prototyping work with technology we'd not used before, ?? with very good PC skills, very good Windows, very good LAN Manager, but we hadn't used Powerbuilder, we hadn't used Sybase, and they got to grips with it incredibly quickly. And the version of Sybase which we were using was virtually brand new ... we've not had many problems with it. Powerbuilder ... is a very new product, it did crash at some really really bad times just when you didn't need it .. you'd lose all the libraries, even your back ups were all corrupted and we had a couple of instances like that which were just killers and we lost a bit of time but I think in general terms we were quite lucky with the technology because we've got some good blokes.'X013 page 022.02 (tape 04.1.04) Gordan Notes/Trans/Tape 30/09/93
