86. My question: Why are they using 14-year-old computers?
This is SO totally bogus.

A 14-year-old PC would have been an 8088 (pre-286) with an MFM or RLL hard drive with a MAXIMUM capacity of 40Mb (not Gigabytes, Megabytes).

There is NO WAY that this was a vote tabulator of any kind. The computer could not have been 14 years old. That is bogus. Are we talking green screen here?

LIES!
