   Why is this news? Stuff like this happens quite often I'm afraid.

   Seems interesting to me... It's good to see reminders of stupid computing in practice.

   Not keeping track of automated processes is so widespread that it has been the downfall of otherwise perfectly run businesses.

   I'll second that. We have a new system at my work that will, among other things, keep track of files as they are processed. With the click (or two or three) of a button, you can see what stage the file is in. In theory, that sounds good. In reality, it is a hit and miss. Currently, I have a preliminary file in my to-do list, but the physical file has yet to appear on my desk. Two other preliminary files that supposedly are assigned to me, do not appear on my to-do list and the physical files are somewhere in the office. There is a major disconnect somewhere, especially between the virtual file and the physical paper file. The process worked well before this new software was forced upon us.
