If they were using late '90's technology, that lookup wouldn't take more than 2 days. Oh Well. I really wish someone on the appropriations committee would get involved - this is nuts. Maybe that 'system' is 'hardened' - and if that's the case - oh well. It'll take some time to replace it.

Pass new laws [unfunded of course] creating more work for fewer people [budget cuts, fix the deficit]. Add in a dash of 20 year old computers that can't interface with anyone else's. I'm suprised things work at all.
