OEMC Collapses?

We're just hearing about this today via an e-mail:

• Hey SCC, this past Thursday around midnight, the techno-weenies took down the entire PCAD system purportedly for maintenance. It was supposed to be for 5 hours or so, but who'd know because it's midnights, right? Well, days rolled around and they couldn't get the system up for another seven hours or so around noon. And the whole time, they ran the entire system on note cards and shoeboxes. Shoeboxes! How much did they spend on this monstrosity? $300 million dollars to start and how many more millions for "maintenance??"
  
  Not only that, but they are putting in some new video screens on the back wall and a huge steel part of the frame came crashing down the other day and almost killed the girls working Zone 8. After the screen goes up, the idiots running this place are going to spend weeks rotating they entire dispatching floor to face the back wall. All this while they bolt new non compatible computers to an already half ass system.

Anyone else know about this? We were off for most of this debacle - was it obvious that Dispatch was back to the old card system? It's amusing as hell that just about the only thing they took with them from 11th and State was the old card boxes. We guess someone was truly thinking ahead in this case.
