Having lived in Canada, that is not how police chases go.
We who live where it snow know what to do in the snow.
Those who live in Georgia don't know what to do when it snows.

from fb:

two old geezers were complaining about presents Santa would leave them. One said, "I got a toilet brush a couple of years ago." His friend replied, "Well, at least it's practical. Did you use it?"
"Well, yup, I tried it, but I switched back to paper."

I regularly have to attend service calls for for commercial equipment running XP, NT4 and DOS. Nothing funny about that!
 
Personal pc's (hmm, typo here, personal personal computers?) I can understand XP and such older, even more when offline. But commercial equipment? like what stores use?
 
Yep, electronic tills using low spec hardware and a severely locked down o/s. Some of the stuff must have been made in the '90's' - still in use. But think about it, these things only run the pos software so the o/s needs to be lightweight. They are switched on 24/7 so designed to use as little power as possible. Sometimes you get ones where they also use a web browser, and then the till gets slower and slower because of all the background open browser windows that never get closed, they just get hidden behind pos.

(edit - pos = point of sale)
