So it turns out my new machine at work is not a 3.0ghz pentium 4 with 2 gigs
of ram, but a dual-processor 3.0 ghz pentium 4 with 2 gigs of ram.
R. just got a replacement machine that’s essentially identical to my new
machine to “fix” his broken cd-drive…overkill for the problem? perhaps…
but who’s gonna complain if IT replaces your machine with a faster one?
They sure knows how to keep me from ever wanting to go home though… ;-).
Just give me gluttonous amounts of computing power at my finger-tips…
PS: The guy from IT says, as he’s trying to identfy what was wrong with R.’s cd-drive, “Well, its either hardware or software.” Speak of the obvious,lol.
