Granted this article is referencing the current administration, but I wasn't trying to make this a partisan issue really. Bush was in office for 8 years before him when technology was making rapid strides. It's on both of them really.

But to say "it's time to bring the government into the 21st century" a decade after the 21st century started... my God. Come on. Get it together.

I'm no apologist for GWB. I heard some jazz this morning about them blaming something on old computers. That's rubish. If it's not it's incompetence. That's all I'm saying.

Agreed. It's rubbish, incompetence, and totally unacceptable. Technology is not the area to cut corners on spending.
