Army pay cock up, deja vu

The Times reports today that Army pay has been cocked up following the introduction of a new computer system.

I was a victim of a similar intoduction of a new computer system in the 80's. We don't learn anything from history do we?

Restore the shirt breast pocket campaign

I am of the certain age referred to in this letter in The Thunderer and agree that we need a campaign to restore the shirt breast pocket. I have been replacing shirts recently and was disappointed at the lack of choice.

One angle that could be used in the campaign is the role of the shirt pocket in IT history. I understand that the 3.5" disc was designed to fit in to the shirt pocket.
