A curious definition of mission-critical. Most senior management
have *no idea* about the systems in their business that are truly
mission-critical - that's why far too many companies have things
like version-control systems running on clapped-out old desktop PCs
with IDE discs, and yet 'chrome' like CRMs that contain nothing you
can't get out of email archives, and intranet sites that nobody
ever reads get all the budget... oh and somewhere down the bottom comes
decent kit for developers....)

(But that's another rant, for another day).
