Who knows, once all the rigmarole is done it will be better than normal!

Done with the range. I'm dirty, a little bloody, blistered and burned, but I'm squared away for next week. Ended up putting 300 through the pistol and only 200 through the rifle. I was on fire by the time I got to rifle, but my pistol game was off.

I can understand lazy controlling IT groups wanting to have their own standard of hardware. They take a tax break giving the ones worth the time to wipe giving them to charity. If not worth the tax break, they grind em up so they don't have to waste time wiping them. Chalk it up to security.

But why Not SELL them to employees. They can't get that much of a tax break to offset the difference of selling them.
It sounds like big corporate think. No thinking involved, just follow the rules laid down by some upper management.

I can understand not selling to employees. Then your IT staff will have to round about support the non-standard computers as buyers will try to use them to connect to their work stuff. Even if it is just email.
Like I said, Lazy IT staff.

Joe, sounds like a good day still.
We had a time where we were going to sell them to employees cheap, but then we have to wipe and reinstall the OS and it wasn't worth the hassle. Now we recycle them for the place for kids with the Pez. We pull the hard drives and I take them for targets.

The problem where I work is that the home computer support staff used to be me and one other IT guy. He would help other employees with their computers for a free dinner. And he would bring me along when they had macs instead of PCs. I was really happy when everyone started going to the applestore genius bar. I don't have to keep my bag of all versions of system disks and tools any more.
He was a machinist when I was and we got together playing with computers back in the days of dialup and compuserve. There wasn't even AOL yet. He really liked going and helping other employees with their computer as a hobby long before he ever got hired into the IT department. Sorry to say he has passed away. He had a benign lump in his gut that was giving him digestive problems. They went in and took it out, but he never woke up from the anesthetic.

Here only salaried staff are allowed to work from home with either one of our or their work computers. Most are supplied a laptop to use so we only have two people we have really had to set up a home computer. One has a laptop but doesn't want to take the effort of unplugging it when they want to work from home.

They used to put names in a hat and hand out computers. Then one guy got caught stuffing the hat and attempting to sell three computers on ebay. So now they just take them all away.

Sounds like you should hire the BOFH.

I plan to glen. Should be a fun place to work. My boss told me a story of when he was going standing mile events in a 996tt. Sunroof blew out at 220 and the car spun, went through the traps backwards before the chute caught and spin the car around. Said he quit racing after that. He did manage to hit 230 in that car though!
