SarBox came out around that time. No one was in the mood to be cute at that time.

What is impressive to me is, it still shows there is demand from accountants/investors and offer from authors for artistically pleasing documents.

It dwindled out, but it is similar to corporate websites like SAP which were boring to death and made life in corporate a bane (we should study suicide and boredom-from-boring-documents in corporates), until all layers of management were naturally attracted to software created by little startups, even if it didn’t track time correctly, but it was cuter and nicer and didn’t require IE7.

Boredom-from-documents-and-websites is a key factor for people’s choice of employment...

Should have known, but I had to look that up.

Sarbanes-Oxley

Which is about corporate financial responsibility, generally speaking.

Signed in to law July 30, 2002
