USCF: The Office That Time Forgot
Older programming won't run on the newer computers. The
programming would probably cost much more to upgrade than the computers. Sam Sloan wrote: I certainly have to agree. When I went to the USCF office in July for the vote count, I was shocked to learn how old and out of date the computers in the office were. For just 500 bucks one can buy a Windows XP with a monster memory like the one I am using. Why was the entire staff using five year old computers with limited capability? Sam Sloan

Older programming won't run on the newer computers. The programming would probably cost much more to upgrade than the computers. Could you be more specific about this (like which applications)? Do you mean won't run on newer operating systems (XP) or is the problem tied to the hardware?
