FW: [wplug] Just need to vent...

[Teodorski, Chris]

Our production peoplesoft (financials and HR for the whole county) is
running on an NT 4 (no longer supported) SQL 7 (no longer supported) on
6 year old Dell hardware with no service contract running PeopleSoft
7.something which is no longer supported by PeopleSoft.  We have no full
time IT staff who understand the interworkings of PeopleSoft.

  
It is a disaster waiting to happen.
