Yes I saw that one too.
The whole business scares the pants off me. There were near
disasters under the old system but using Windows 2000 is just
asking for it.

Hopefully, sometime in the near future, the whole project
will be written off. The loss of millions to the taxpayer
might actually come as some relief!!
I predict this will indeed happen because like Matt I hear
the sound of greedy palms being rubbed together.
