Goverment Computer News (http://www.gcn.com) for March 16 reported that
there is a problem with a contract the Social Security Administration has
with Unisys Corporation.
The contract is a multi-year contract for 100 MHZ Pentium computers.
However, Intel no longer makes 100MHZ chips. So Unisys offered to install
233 MHZ computers AT THE SAME PRICE.
The Social Security Administration refused. An SSA official reported to
Congress that "100 MHZ computers meet our current needs."
