51 % of CASA's budget officially goes on salaries and that all in all about 46 % of CASA's total budget went on paying "suppliers". The lion's hare of that actually went on computers, computer systems and IT services, more than $26M (27%)- boy that is some computer system they must have there and that does not count the millions more buried in the sundries and services of their annual report for computer services and other IT and techinical what nots.

i was speaking to the know all drunk in the Exchange Hotel in TSV who told me that there is more back office staff in CASA than those that are supposedly the guardians of safety. I knew he was making it up when he told me that one in six support the computer systems. Must be a bloody big bank of crays with more capacity than IBM. Maybe CASA is plotting to take over from Apple as the computer masters of the world.

Frankly, I don't give a damn.
