Where DO you find these articles?

The non-accounting ones can be hilarious ('no one can turn off the lights') or dispiriting (reminder of the P.O. scandal) or surely a wind-up ('Dateforce' which is just weird) ... so I suppose the same range as the accounting ones really!

The tale of Leeds City Council reminds me of how much we used to enjoy competing against Oracle or SAP (particularly the former).
Our sales people used to enquire at the start of presentations "whether you've been visited yet by the supermodel?" - and, on receiving puzzled looks, explained that Oracle claimed to "not get out of bed for less than a £million")!

A lot of the non-accounting ones are sent to me by friends and contacts. I guess the thought process being: 'that's a wacky tech story, Tom will like that'. Sadly, they're usually absolutely right!
