Here's a work around....
Our Corporate Operations Committee has defined a lower cost alternative
to the previously planned NT and Win 98 system conversions
which will also address the Y2K (Year 2000) issues we are facing.
All computers will be removed from the desktop by January 1, 1999.
Instead, everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch. There are
many sound and viable reasons for this decision:
1. No Y2K problems.
2. No technical glitches keeping work from being done.
3. No more wasted time reading and writing emails.
4. Reduction in technical support calls will reduce our costs
associated with maintaining our I.S. help desk.
5. Reduction in hardware costs.
6. Elimination of all software license fees.
7. Reduction in the amount of training necessary for new hires.
8. Can be used at the desktop as well as away from the office due
its extreme portability.
9. Extremely low cost makes them disposable (when one breaks,
we will simply replace it).
10. We can now hire 1st graders to do your job.
In anticipation of the questions some of you will undoubtedly have
regarding this corporate decision, we have prepared a list of the
most
