  2. “…operator was not able to use their train scheduling software…”

    It was their software that used flash. It was part of their scheduling program. Probably not so new, either.
    I don’t know what the software is, but I’ll betcha that they aren’t registered users of it.
    that is what they do

    He must jerk off to a picture of Turdo before bed every nite.
