This is some tiny town, not surprised it was that low really. Someone here could have an idea how much it might cost. They said it was their financial software and it was the only one boy backed up. Which means it’s probably ancient. Idk much about municipal software.
Buying new software is one thing you could price out. Losing historical financial data is the one that’s tricky to price.

- nonameiguess 4y agoThat name is giving me nightmares. I divorced in a Texas county I no longer live in, and at some point, some agency would not accept the copy of the divorce decree I had from the original action because it said "Copy - Original signed by judge" on the last page, and they wanted something with that signature. I ended up in a nightmare loop trying to find how to request records, where I could look up my case and see the link, but not use it without registering, but if I registered and logged in, my case no longer showed up in their search at all, making it so I could see my case record was clearly there, but I had no way to retrieve it.
