Where some of the stimulus money ought to go

Three years ago, when I went with Court to city offices to apply for her name change, I was appalled that staffers there were working on PC's still operating in DOS.

Government PCs haven't gotten much better since then. Court started her city job this week, and she's having to re-learn Windows 93. She says her PC crawls.

That would drive me insane.

Our state's welfare information system runs on DOS. I've worked on some of the training, and I don't even understand half of it. It's ridiculous.

That would be enough for me NOT to take a job. {Shudder}

93??? Holy crap! Hope the job is really worth it.

AutoCAD was the only reason I got a new computer. Goddess bless autoCAD. (But, I actually have a maintenace program that I have to access through DOS.)
