Geoff, you claim an expertise at game inputting, so why don't you put in a decent shift helping out when you visit at the weekend?
There are 3 tournaments taking place at the moment, and only two permanent arbiters, Alex and Andy. Andy is spending a good deal of his time looking after the live boards, which, while you may not appreciate them, are welcomed by many, me included, and I am the same age as you, so stop being a Luddite.
A number of others, have helped with the arbiting duties so far. Alex has spent much of his time entering pgns, so they will appear, perhaps later rather than sooner. You are complaining that the computers, which you despise, are not being used to supply your particular fix quickly enough. How long did you have to wait for Informator 25-30 years ago? Did they eventually give you all the games?
At the weekend there will be four events taking place, so more volunteers are required. I will be playing, so that's my excuse for not helping.
