Personal files on work computer?

As long as it's not porn of political I don't see a problem with it.

But as a support tech I have had to deal with someone who had filled his hard drive up with personal photos and videos.
Imagine having to fix a laptop that has 420GB of personal photos/videos and it wont boot normally!

And of course the idiot didn't back them up so I had to copy the photos before rebuilding the laptop to fix the problem.

That may sound easy but I had to boot it into "safe mode with networking" and then copy them over the local network.
It took more than 20 hours to do that! (The idiot was a VIP and his hard drive was encrypted so there was no other option)
