Abstract:

In the basement of the North Carolina Department of Revenue sits a large, slow computer officially known as IBM 4341. Although it might crash at any moment, the biggest issue is the slowness of the machine prevents the state from processing data rapidly and dependably in order to collect the $350 million in estimated taxes owed each year.
