[Am-info] Move to MickySoft in the UK FAILED.....badly!

[Fred A. Miller]

""Ports slid towards chaos last week" after British firm Community 
Network Services, a subsidiary of Southampton Container Terminals Ltd. 
in the U.K., tried to move a customs clearance system from a mainframe 
to Windows, Silicon.com reports.

"The gradual degradation of the new system had meant that freight 
forwarders and customs agents had to revert to manual processing at 
Southampton and Tilbury," Silicon.com said. Some airport freight 
operations were affected as well.

On Monday, Community Network said it had moved operations back to the 
old mainframe system."
