  7. To rule them all, the System was brought fourth, and it tied to all the applications in the organization, and it had a nice dashboard.
  8. To the greedy, the Platform was sold, which controlled everything, and made fun of the other things, and was extensible (with XML, of course).
  9. To make the little things easy, a utility was created...
