This came up on another board I frequent. I worked for the State, ashamed to admit that, for a year back in the late 90's. They had three or four floors of programmers working on the systems back then to make sure the year 2000 wouldn't crash everything. And that was just the Justice/Courts systems. Now they've got the Department of Labor to deal with, too. They're still using the same, old, antiquated, mainframe systems programmed with Cobol. You'd think by now someone would have replaced all that ancient stuff but Democrats and Republican have ignored the whole thing. They're going to have to raid retirement homes to find Cobol programmers and good luck finding enough to fix the mess. Imagine how many lines of useless code is in those programs by now, after 40 or 50 years of "tinkering". Our tax dollars hardly work.
