Came across this old article in the TU. At first it made me sad...to think we're still waiting and hoping to realize the same vision we had 14 years ago. But then again, we've actually come a long way since then and we've got many of the right elements in place that we didn't have back then. The timetable is way off, but we've made a some progress.
