Mon Feb 14 19:45:29 AEDT 2011

Gotta love technology, gotta hate technology.  or maybe it's not so much the
technology per sae, but the people who use it?

"Computers which co-ordinate ambulances in NSW, Australia, are back online
in three of the state's regions after a major virus forced staff to shut
them down for more than 24 hours. The virus crept into the Ambulance Service
of NSW's dispatch system, prompting staff to co-ordinate paramedics by
telephone and handwritten notes. The cause and source of the virus are not
yet known."
