The Old Joel on Software Forum: Part 1 (of 5) - Uhh.. Think there's a bug in one of the articles

Uhh.. Think there's a bug in one of the articles

Funny.. been reading JoelOnSoftware for awhile now. Anyways, I was reading the article "Strategy Letter II: Chicken and Egg Problems", where there's a reference to the Microsoft "Transpoint" bill paying system.

Guess it failed. The hyperlink (http://www.msfdc.com/) points to "Euro-Teen Sluts"

That is too funny!

Actually it looks like Transpoint "merged" with Checkfree. And Microsoft's attempt to get into banking was forgotten.

It's a good thing I grabbed spolsky.com a couple of days ago, after the previous owner, Steven Polsky, let it expire.

I guess I better change the link in the article, hadn't I...
