Doesn’t surprise me. The 2000 Census was the first one to be performed by the bureau, althoigh the Navy QA offices at the contractors’ facilities obtained desktop computers in 1993.

Be careful out there. Scammers are already making calls claiming to be IRS and needing banking accounts to deposit check.
