That is interesting.
St Petersburg is adjacent to Largo, which is famous for implementing the
city IT infrastructure on Linux, at significantly lower cost than

The quote in the article from Steve Buyer must be distressing to anyone who
remembers
anything about the origins and development of VistA:
