New Company Equipment

[firestorm_al]

It has been determined that there is no longer any need for network or
software applications support. The goal is to remove all computers from the
desktop by Dec. 31, 2002. Instead, everyone will be provided with an
Etch-A-Sketch.

There are many sound reasons for doing this:

1. No Operating System problems.
2. No technical glitches keeping work from being done.
3. No more wasted time reading and writing e-mails, and surfing the Internet

You have clearly had dealings with the same sorts of IT departments as me. I felt the etch-a-sketch answers could have been more patronising and you did not mention how many stupid options you have to get through on the automated answering service before you got through to some one who would tell you to ' Pick it up and shake it!!!'
