Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I was a contractor for HHS for a year or so. When I started, there was a server farm built for a contract that was powered up and maintained; never used, it was broken up and sold for surplus. Just before I left, HHS thought they would like that program again, so us US taxpayers bought another tranche of computers to power up. I don't know the end of the story.

I could type more, but it would be a long and boring story.
