‘Definitive proof’ of second Post Office IT scandal found in 30-year-old floppy disks
Campaigners have a copy of the original Capture software which sub-postmasters say caused them accounting problems in the 90s
Floppy disks were a type of magnetic data storage used by computers in the 80s and 90s.
Fuck. Why’d you have to do me like that article.
My parents had a Post Office which I effectively grew up in. I remember them having to report things on a desktop and loading these discs. I also remember when they got the Horizon system and how much trouble they were having trying to get it to work.
They moved to the city I was born and raised in just to buy the PO, and both worked full time in it. I feel so lucky they didn't get caught up in it all. I have asked if they paid anything they weren't sure about and they said there was nothing, although my mum paused before answering so think there might've been something.
It would have ruined our lives completely so all this scandal stuff really hits me hard. I couldn't even watch the Norman Bates show past 20 minutes as I just got so upset and angry. Fuck all the people involved (at every level) and hope they suffer for all time...
It's Alan Bates. Norman Bates is the killer in psycho.
Some of those bastards have to be jailed.
