Date: Thu, 7 May 1998 19:30:00 PDT Lines: 18 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." -- --- end forwarded text
