To: muawiyah; rolling_stone

That stupid discussion has nothing to do with digital imaging, so DONT GET SUCKED IN ANYMORE ‘stone- that is muawiyah’s purpose, i think.

I have been a software engineer doing contract work in and out of government agencies for over 25 years.

They have some of the worst and most archaic computer systems in the world. And they are paying millions for them. I worked at one place where they had a 30 year old mainframe to do one database I rewrote in Microsoft Access for them in about a week.

They coninue to use the 30 year old mainframe and pay about 6 people to run it, along with hundreds of thousands in lease payments.

To: Mr. K
Sounds like the FBI. Sorry. We didn't do that. My agency was always buying the latest and greatest in huge quantities.

Contractors rarely good a good view of what an agency is really up to anyway.
