World moves on

For a short while I used to have business with EDS in Yorktown House in Camberley. Often used to get lost getting there. Today, having business nearby, I thought I would check that EDS really was nearby nearby. Search high and low with Mr G..

Eventually, I find out that EDS, a large computer services outfit which used to make a lot of money out of big government, was bought a couple of years ago by HP. Who seem to have very efficiently effaced all trace of the old EDS from the net. At least that part visible on the first page of zillions of hits. Leaving a herd of other outfits which are still using the name. Would never have thought that there were so many of them.

Sic transit gloria mundi. Or perhaps one ought to say 'sic transit gloria webbing'. But it doesn't have the same ring.
