As the new Java applications are created, users will need to use the results from them. The developers of the applications will get bogged down in their own schedules and priorities, leaving behind the needs of important segments of their own user base.

From these users will rise a super-user, who uses perl to solve his or her own problems. A clandestine server will appear, a beacon of rebellion against the unusable mansion of corporate-mandated cruft.

Official response will be silent. The revolution will not have conference calls! Users will migrate to the new machine, and the operation of the company will be transformed.

The isolated inner circle of unresponsive programmers will be driven out by an angry mob armed with torches, pitchforks, and perl! The mob will move into the mansion, and the cycle will begin again.

It should work perfectly the first time! - toma
