Some people never learn.
Last summer the City of Tucson proudly announced that it was upgrading its
computer system from the "antiquated DOS system" that it was using to a
Windows based system. Last week, the newspaper did a story on parking
violation scofflaws, people who have as many as 60 unpaid tickets for parking
violations. The story went on to say that one of the reasons that people
with unpaid tickets were not tracked down was a delay in processing
information by the courts; that it now took 20 minutes to input information
on an unpaid violation, whereas it used to take two minutes. Paraphrasing the
comment by the traffic court: " We thought that the new computer system would
speed things up, but it didn't."

You'd think they would have learned from the NT fiasco
where a Navy ship was left dead in the water.
On the postive side, Linux is making more and more
