    At one company I worked at the technical directory formed a 'break away' software company, to provide code for the parent company, and took some of us software guys with him. It was to be based in Tamworth, England. I suggested calling it Software House In Tamworth, for some reaso he did not like the name!

                                  We currently have a product called Intergrated Control and Monitor System (ICMS) which is used to consolidate the individual control panels of all of an Airport's Landing systems onto a single touch screen. Apparently no one made the connection to "I see a mess" - which is something you do not want to see at an Airport...:eek: Steve
