Why not? It may not be thanksgiving yet, but it's never to early to
shoot turkeys.

LOL!

I liked this message:

....'She was also unaware of how exactly RAC had been pinpointed as the
source of the problem, rather than other technology in use at Orbitz,
such as Sun Microsystems Inc. hardware or Veritas Software Corp.
software. "I can't answer that," she said. "When our guys tell me that
it's a database issue, I trust them to know what they're talking
about. They're pretty smart guys."'

And then later:

'It was also likely an untypical day for Orbitz's brand-new chief
technology officer. Orbitz on Monday announced that the company had
appointed Christopher Hjelm to that position.'

On TV mysteries, these would be clues to a darker reality... but in
the real world, just blame the previous administration. I bet there
wasn't anything wrong with RAC at all, but they needed to blame
something and run around and "fix" things.

Funny how things can run fine for years and then just blow up.

I'll bet if we dig in to who are these
"smart guys" we'll find lots of interesting things...
