Remember when George W. Bush's staff moved into the White House in 2001 and found that the Clinton staffers had acted like a bunch of boobs and done things like remove all the "w"s from the computer keyboards and glued desk drawers shut?  Bush staffers didn't do anything like that, at least not that I've heard of, but Obama's staff is discovering that being on the government payroll doesn't guarantee that you'll get to work with cutting edge or even adequate technology.  From a Washington Post story:

One member of the White House new-media team came to work on Tuesday, right after the swearing-in ceremony, only to discover that it was impossible to know which programs could be updated, or even which computers could be used for which purposes. The team members, accustomed to working on Macintoshes, found computers outfitted with six-year-old versions of Microsoft software. Laptops were scarce, assigned to only a few people in the West Wing. The team was left struggling to put closed captions on online videos…

"It is kind of like going from an Xbox to an Atari," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said of his new digs.

Honestly I'm surprised they inherited Atari and not Pong.
