The results are in. The popularity winner among the February Making Sense of It All columns was the February 3 column on how the people currently in charge of our high-tech assets do not have the background and education to understand technology, and the effect this is having on the corporate growth rates. That column received almost 450 visits.

Receiving over 100 visits apiece were February 26's column on the need for new applications to avert the growing stagnation now setting into the computer industry, February 11's column how the Ken Lay and Bernie Ebbers scandals may actually be false scandals created by journalists, and February 24's column on how the government's continual changing of the rules for the telecommunications industry is depriving that industry of much-needed investment capital. Also popular was February 10's retrospective on The Slingshot Syndrome, and February 18's column on why corporations usually fail at implementing their own winning strategies.

When I started writing this daily column at the beginning of November, 2002, my friends worried that I would quickly run out of material and have to give it up in short order. So far that hasn't happened, thanks in no small part to the interesting times we live in.
