This dates back to 95. Windows 95, that is.

A former director of mine came up with the suggestion of cloning laptops that we send out to sales people....that way I wouldn't have to spend the time customizing them.

Agreed, I said.

She grabbed the laptop of an RVP of sales to send for cloning and insisted that it be done yesterday. We quickly got an e-mail back saying the clone was successful.

I started getting complaints from salespeople about pornography and coarse language on the laptop. I suggested a password screensaver to keep prying hands away. I received a lukewarm response to my advice.

Finally, a salesperson said "To hell with the goshdarn screen saver...I work at home. Fix the Briefcase!!"

Under "My Briefcase", in all the clones built from the RVP, was some pictures, jokes, and even a satirical slide show deriding the organization that was decidedly NSFW. And yes, the slide show had the RVP's name on it!!!

That was one OWN3D bigshot!!!

 

I still can't find the any key.

 

Long story short:

Secretary uses boot disk (5 1/4) Boot disk keeps getting formatted. She keeps calling help desk. Works fine during the day, but over night the disk erases itself. So helpdesk goes out to see what happens when she leaves. Every day when she left work she would take the disk out of the drive to protect it and then use a magnet to stick it to the file cabinet!

Quickie:

Lady says mouse cursor dissapears (win 3.11) while using the mouse. Go over there... she takes the mouse and puts it on the monitor screen. When the mouse cursor gets under the mouse she says, "see i can't see it"
