TECHNOLOGY REWIND

This should eliminate some of IT’s most difficult situations. There are a lot of changes that are going to be taking place across the board as far as the servers & personal computers go. The goal is to remove all laptop computers by November 2005 and all desktops computers by December 2005. Instead everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch.

There are many sound reasons for doing this:
1. No boot-up problems
2. No technical glitches keeping work from being done.
3. No more wasted time reading and writing emails.
4. No more worries about power cuts.
5. Budget savings on Upgrades unparalleled

Frequently Asked Questions from the Etch-A-Sketch Help Desk:

I installed "pickup-n-shake" technology on my laptop. My laptop > your etch-a-sketch.

I usually keep a 20-lb (that's about 9 kg for you metric types) sledgehammer within sight of the computer at all times. That computer doesn't DARE lock up on me, or WHAMO!!!!
