Who uses non HTML pages with distributed computing in this day and age? It may be a moderate solution providing information in HK with 150-200 mbps speeds but in the normal world of 5mbps it is woeful.
When my then partner as a Senior Systems Analyst at a big software company saw it, she said she would have been fired if that was all she could write.

My brother-in-law is a director in a leading US IT firm based in Atlanta. Two years ago they were invited to Hong Kong by CX to submit a propsal to update the CX systems. The bid came in at just under HKD1 billion with the recommendation that the entire system be scrapped, that the Atlanata company temporarily take over the data systems for two years while a completly new suite was installed. Bid rejected as too expensive of course. Since then the company has gone on to update LH and AF/KLM and is this year bidding for AA.
