I've brought in consultants offering to do everything from a
similar temporary fix to a complete re-wire.... but there's
no acknowledgement on the part of said former supervisor
who is also the closet thing we have to a comptroller that we
actually have a problem. He said to drop it until I could
PROVE the wiring wss the problem, and however that might be
done would likely require resources I don't have.

Said former supervisor and the 30% co-owner make all final
determinations as to what $$$ can be spent purely on cash-flow
and profitability... ideas such as IT-spending-as-investment
are total anathema.

Most IT spending gets done during the end-of-year-write-it-
off-as-supplies spending orgy.
