1. Working miracles in management

   http://letters.computing.co.uk/2008/07/working-miracle.html

   The problem is that IT departments often fall into two areas - understaffed, or having a motherload of work to get through (Putting IT in the driving seat for business success, sandrasmith.computing.co.uk). My department would not appreciate having to do projects that are not really our responsibility, because we do not have the resources to spare. …

2. Deliverance

   http://letters.computing.co.uk/2008/07/deliverance.html

   I run an e-commerce site, and in my experience what stops people buying across countries is the excessive postage charged (EU to encourage cross-border e-commerce, www.computing.co.uk/2219738). At the moment it is many times more expensive for us to ship from the UK to Europe. …

3. Leave IT alone

   http://letters.computing.co.uk/2008/07/leave-it-alone.html

   Building Schools for the Future is perceived by some as a great invasion for schools (Vice-like grip, letters.computing.co.uk). John Jones needs to go into schools and see the excellent work that IT staff provide.

   The web remains in good health

   http://comment.computing.co.uk/2008/05/the-web-remains.html

   Some ISPs have been moaning in particular about the impact of the hugely successful BBC iPlayer -­ a complaint that has been received with derision from web users, not least those writing to Computing’s letters page (letters.computing.co.uk). The irony is not lost on those who recall the early days of broadband, when ISPs accused content providers of doing too little to provide sites that would encourage users to upgrade from dial-up connections.
