High tech but often as cheap as stallholders. I did tech support for one big firm at some point, and their IT was shockingly old. I asked why and was told that's how you shave profits in lean years -- which is fair enough. When you've been around as long as these guys have been, your priorities probably don't include "being fashionably high-tech".
