Comments on: B A Dummy - travel via Heathrow Terminal 5 http://fifthdecade.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/b-a-dummy-travel-via-heathrow-terminal-5/ Almost five decades of experience... and I write THIS?

But it is very reminiscent of how EasyJet's <a href="http://fifthdecade.wordpress.com/2007/01/18/ludicrous-luton/" rel="nofollow">Ludicrous Luton Airport</a> operates. I bet you're glad of Swiss efficiency in public transport - and everything else of course! I do wonder though which computers run the systems at T5 - is it perhaps that favourite of Big Consultancy, Microsoft by any chance? We had huge problems trying to get Microsoft systems to multi-task (ie have more than one user at a time!) at work and eventually switched over to Macs for more robustness. But Big Consultancy makes more money out of running Microsoft systems and code, so which one are they going to choose?

Hell really seems to be a place that is organised by the British. Sometimes I'm glad I live in Switzerland. When I go to London next month I think I'll fly Swiss. You beat me to it with this post.
