Until recently in the UK there was a saying which meant ‘never ending’, ‘eternal’ and ‘a thankless task’. Thanks to new technology, ‘Painting the Forth Bridge’ has now changed its meaning forever. Using a new paint formulation, the job of protecting this remarkable 220 year old engineering marvel from the Scottish wind and rain, will need no more applications (of paint) for the next quarter of a century.
At November’s HP Discover in Vienna, I also noticed a real difference compared to previous years. It was a very good event, the venue looked great and once again I got to meet with a lot of attending software customers. However, the feedback from the customers I met with this time was very different.
