Business in the 21st century left artifacts like typewriters and adding machines behind, curiousities today except for a few places. One, the Georgia Pig, the barbecue restaurant on 441 just north of I-595 (best barbecue I've ever had) and in the same location since 1953, still uses an old lever-operated cash register. No credit cards, no ATM because when they had one they got broken into repeatedly, cash only- and is as fine a business model as you could find. No chance of a technology glitch becaue there isn't any.

There's an old, old, old Saturday Night Live skit that always stuck with me, part of the news of the week section, when Voyager became the first man-made object to leave the solar system. The gag was that Voyager had been found, and we had received a message from the aliens who discovered our probe. Part of Voyager was a solid gold phonograph record with music and sounds from Earth, from different ages, and included a little Chuck Berry. The punch line was the alien response- "Send more Chuck Berry!"

In earning my MBA at Nova, I always felt: "Send more Deming!"
