You think for 500 bazillion euros they could have written an
emulator with JIT optimizations. That would have allowed them
to migrate the applications themselves slowly - or even not at
all - but still have them run on newer, cheaper hardware.

I think the problem here is probably the banks themselves, who
feel that they need to throw 1000 talentless Java developers
at a problem, when probably it's better to use 2 or 3 compiler
experts.

Rich.
