1339367	2013-05-02 01:33:00	The day after a computer upgrade was announced. Oh the irony :lol: mobile.nzherald.co.nz	pcuser42 (130)
1339368	2013-05-02 04:14:00	What are the chances that this Govt dept will have a successful Comp system upgrade, with no huge cost over-runs & no write off of a new system that cant be made to work. "$1.5 billion upgrade.... " Does this seem a excessive amount $$$ for some servers & a bunch of PC's ?? Id like to see the actual costing on this. Someone will be making a nice wee profit.	1101 (13337)
1339369	2013-05-02 04:20:00	Does this seem a excessive amount $$$ for some servers & a bunch of PC's ?? And some programming work...	pcuser42 (130)
1339370	2013-05-02 04:38:00	$1.5bil would hire some damn good programers. OK maybe just 1/2 billion to hire programers . I bet it'll amount to 1/2bil for the software side of things (eventually) :-)	1101 (13337)
1339371	2013-05-02 05:49:00	Wonder if they use Norton or AVG :xmouth:	wainuitech (129)
1339372	2013-05-02 06:04:00	Probably Mcafee :lol:	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1339373	2013-05-02 21:19:00	I think the high cost will be tied up in security, it is the IRD For that sort of money you should be able to make your own OS	Gobe1 (6290)

It's replacing their current mainframe system with something a little more modern. Not the desktops which were updated a year or so ago. The mainframe uses COBOL, so that might give an indication of the age of it :)	autechre (266)
