Obama Staff Arrives to White House Stuck in Dark Ages of Technology

Via peterwknox

The team members, accustomed to working on Macintoshes, found computers outfitted with six-year-old versions of Microsoft software.

About

Londoner, thinking and writing far too much about far too many random things. Wannabe photo-/videographer of my life. More likely to be found propping up a bar somewhere.

I also write about football.

This mess is powered by Tumblr, on which there are many things I like. You can also ask me anything.
