It's hard to know whether to laugh or cry at Audit Scotland's scathing analysis of three notable public-sector IT failures selected, Agenda suspects, from a multitude of available Scottish examples.
Three bodies were pointed out last week for squandering public money – £9 million of it effectively poured down the drain or "written off".
The worst culprits were the Crown Office & Procurator Fiscal Service and Registers of Scotland, as, while Disclosure Scotland also made a dog's dinner of an IT project, it has not (yet) had to write anything off.
