            Thought so. But is it made by Fujitsu and sold to the Government?

                  To be fair, I didn't say I was doing this last week - more like 15 years ago. Moore's Law applies...

                  And the PND (not the PNC, that's gone) is a modern system of federated databases. Not sure who built it or who's running it these days.

                    Obviously not (flash is the most expensive part tho made by very few firms now), and obviously Fujitsu with their prices should have been told to fook right off.

                    No wonder people flock to AWS

                      Well yes, very true. That would work really well with a national police database covering everything from ANPR records to anti-terrorism intelligence.
