-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Information_technology] Daily News 10/08/02 Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2002 11:04:52 -0500 From: "NIPC Watch" <nipcwatch@private> To: "Information Technology" <information_technology@private> October 7, Associated Press - Port dispute focus is technology. At the Port of Hong Kong, technology has transformed container movement into a tight, efficient operation. Computers also spur efficiency at the Port of New Jersey, telling crane operators when and where to meet containers coming into the yard. What about at the Port of Seattle, less than 20 miles from software giant Microsoft and a short ride from Boeing labs that develop high-tech jetliners and hush-hush military aircraft? There, clerks are paid to punch in container information -- cargo, ship and destination -- that has already been typed in once before, may be re-entered several times more and could be automatically handled via simple software -- if the contract would only allow it.
