How utterly shocking and completely surprising. I'm stunned at this
unexpected news. EDS responsible for a computing disaster? Surely they
jest. That could never be. All EDS's projects go off perfectly without
flaw or failure, and they have a superb reputation, which is why the
government keep using them over and over again.

Isn't it?
