	So they did it badly - not uncommon. Amazon could not function
without a distributed, scalable, fault tolerant system, there's no way you
could run Amazon mainframe style. Even their core database is distributed,
scalable and fault tolerant relying on guaranteed eventual consistency
rather than ACID which does not scale.

	McDonald's did it well.
