'As part of that process..we learnt a lot about the technology basically, we were new to the technology and we made mistakes with it and we found there were all kinds of fancy things you could do with the Powerbuilder product in terms of storing things in memory. So, if you are a claims person and you switch on in the morning, then the system will automatically load all the claims screens into memory, so when you then click on one of those claims screens it brings it up immediately, because that was one of the performance problems with actually painting the screens on the PC, because PCs are..they're getting faster and faster all the time, but in terms of graphical applications they're still a bit slow. So we kind of worked out ways of speeding the application up not just on the database but with the client bit of the processing as well. ... They are all happening now and coming to fruition at the end of February.'X022 page 001.02a (tape 01.1.02a) Gordan Notes/Trans/Tape 27/01/94
