An Engineered Success?

I had to pay my dad's tax returns last week. He's pushing 70, and considers computers the same way as he consider's everything else thats new and alien to him - he doesn't trust them. The only way he got "convinced" to pay for his tax return online was because HMRC never sent him a paying slip. So he couldn't pay it using the Post Office like he usually would, he had to go online. Well anyway, I done it online for him, and it took close to half an hour. The site was sooooooooooooooooooooo slooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww, I had YouTube videos and Facebook pages loading up quicker than the tax site was. I think they forced people to pay online.
