Hi,
Some of you may remember a comment by the chairperson of the Irish Software Association in a commercial supplement in the Irish Times about a month ago.
I wrote to the person to whom the comments were attributed, rather than to the Irish Times, to express my personal offense and what he said, and to attempt to explain why I felt he was wrong.
It turns out that he was speaking without the authority of the Irish Software Association.

nice! I linked to that at http://taint.org/2005/04/12/195641a.html with a note about how the ISA are doing the right thing in this regard by keeping out of the issue, considering Google's recent entry to the irish software industry.
