I saw this myself in an ambulance in the Boston area. The PCR system they were using was on some Toughbook-style computer, and I could tell that it was lagging and slow to input basic stuff on. Apparently whoever had put it together cared more about durability (important) than performance. Or maybe it worked great when it was deployed, but the newer software updates weren't built for such a slow machine. They used it; but it was like inputting a data on a slow ATM.
