A step back

I am going to take a bit of a step back this week.  This week I am going to take a min to discuss the thought processes, or the lack thereof, of businesses, with a particular focus on our government.   I am an IT and as such I do like technology.  These days we have to deal with the whole concept of lowest bidder.   If you do not know what that means well here you go;

What that means is that whomever make the lowest bid on a particular contract ends up with the contract.  I am just a worker bee but even I know that make no since what so ever.  Basically what we end up with is crappy equipment to do a job that requires the latest in technology not archaic technology.  Now that we are working with second hand stuff were are expected to work to the level of the people down the street who run Server 2012, win 7 and an all fiber network, when we have Server 2003, Win XP and switches we have to make mods to in order to connect them via fiber to a core switch.  Well I could go on and on about this but there really would be no point.  I just wanted to take a step back and see if anyone else out there is a frustrated as I am with this crap.
