[Sigia-l] Mother of all examples

[Taylor, Brett]

 I guess it would be bad for us to speculate on very limited knowledge,
I am sure who every developed probably had a limited time frame, very
complex political games to hurdle and in the end, It just wasn't what
they could use.

I work on a project for one of the branches of the arm service and know
there is a lot of tug of wars, always with the intent to do right and
contrary to what some may think they are pretty knowledgeable in
technology.

I would think in dealing with some of the antiquated systems we know the
FBI and CIA uses, they probably tried to hack something together that
would work instead of from ground up because it was, at the time, the
best solution they saw to getting a system in place quickly? But like I
said we can all sit back and make assumptions, but hey, it has giving us
some conversation on a Friday.
