"The NSW Government seems to take a long time to decide on the contract, given the time lines involved so far, it might be another 2 years before the contract is finally decided. ERG still is only the preferred tenderer (and that was back in 1999). The Government may change still change its mind".

"Michael, this is a great example, why did ERG spend 300million dollars to research one product. Is this product so important to require such an investment, what year do you think they will get their money back on this investment or will this ever occur"?

"Sounds very exciting. What profit does ERG obtain from this fantastic product? Couldn't see any breakup of this entity in its balance sheet, its not giving it away for free is it?
Does ERG own the sea creature Octopus too? Who manufactures this chip, ERG"?

ERG has yet to prove its technology will work in the way it says to its customers. I know I keep coming back to it but if you have ever had to use the public transport system in Melbourne you will understand why I think the ERG system does not work for its customers.
"But in all practical terms, the system as a whole does fail. It offers simply an expensive way for people to not pay for their fares on the public transport system. And I am most surprised at people who think ERG's system is good, because every day I see its failings".

"As for the chip I mean I would find a potato chip more useful to me as at least it might allay my hunger for a short period of time. I still cannot see how the chip or scart or whatever will improve my life".
"I'd rather have a "dumb" card that worked than a smart card that fails to work".

When are you going to get it thru your THICK skull that scards are not used on Melbs transit system?
When are you going to understand that sabotage is the ONLY reason for the shortcomings in Melb?
Is your ego so fragile that you simply cannot admit that you have been wrong and have therefor continued to post absolute garbage at every opportunity?
You have exposed you ignorance and chldish behaviour so often.
I will be reminding everyone particularly at Egoli just how stupid you are.
All I have to do is repost xcerpts of every idiotic lame brained post that you have made.
Have another BigMac moron.
