[Wolves] EEEPC success likely to spawn rivals

[Political Penguin]

There's only one slight reservation I have about SCC apart from them not 
having anything for sale on their e-bay site and that's this lovely 
quote taken off the front of their main company website.

"Through this new partnership we will be able to deliver significant 
cost savings and process improvements. An essential aspect in awarding 
this contract has been the flexibility and commitment SCC has 
demonstrated in defining the best way we can work together to deliver 
real value and efficiencies."

What's it relate to?  That would be their contract for the IT services 
at HMRC.  Hmm, nice.
