Retrofitting

A word not known to the roadrunner.
Found in this (dated) article:
http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh110507-story10.html
Quote:
"This is the largest Cume I've ever seen," says Bidwell. "These couldn't be all fixes, there hasn't been that many things wrong with V5R4 to my knowledge. They must be retrofitting something. Anyway, it's a long download, and, a very long apply."

If you have any idea what IBM is up to, we sure are curious.

Good for me, there is (of course) wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrofitting
Quote:
Retrofitting refers to the addition of new technology or features to older systems. An example of this is car customizing, where older vehicles are fitted with new technologies: power windows, cruise control, remote keyless systems, electric fuel pumps, etc.

It is very typical that a car is used for this example.
It's a man's world!

Which reminds me of the famous song:
http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/j/jamesbrown4607/itsamansmansmansworld207850.html

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man

This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
