Aauugh! The frustration of technology XD LOL

Setup is testing Jessie's patience... 6%

That's just the way I feel sometimes when I'm trying to download something and it takes forever XD

They should have out her on a cubicle with the latest obe like Jan.

Why ARE they keeping that stuff, anyway? :)

Because someone might need a Windows 98 disc :D

Or a 3.1 for the Win95 upgrade.

I still have a winxp installation disc somewhere, lol

Anybody need Windows 1.10A intall disks? I have them for a AT&T 6300 Plus. :=3

I have DOS 3.3 floppies for our old 8088 somewhere :D

Because in the IT, Murphy Law is on full gear. As soon as you throw away the old discs, you will need them. Thus keeping them is the best way not to need them anytime. Even better, as soon as you would really need them again, it's natures sign that they actually broke down and are unuseable, something you'll only be able to see when it's too late

wasn't it easier to just give her a new one? lol

Naah, too expensive. Budget management demands that you have to re-use the old system, as long as the bios screen appears, the system is useable. And let the department use them who need better systems the most, like the graphics department in Jessis case. The newest models are for the executive staff only, only they will make use of this expensive equipment properly by using it for word, powerpoint and solitaire

... accidents may... happen....

Let me just say that years ago at a game company, I was in a similar situation. The high end graphics hardware & software were used by administrators to play the latest releases in computer games ("for research"). (Which actually did had some rationality at the time, but it sure didn't feel like it... while I was having to plan sprite design & animation on graph paper.)

"Junk", "Crap", "Why are we keeping this"... perfect labeling ^.^ !

It looks like somethin than really happen to you. XD
Another good page.

And that is exactly why I was put in charge of the summer school camp newspaper for years: I was the only one to have a computer with both usb ports and floppy disk slot, so the shiny new PCs could work together with old junk (that ran Windows 98. And didn't even have Office at first. And that I personally collected from under-stair).

Also, as an ignorant person in matter of computers, I can relate with Jessie

wow the executives must be idiots if they think she can manage with such an outdated setup. She'll never get anything done at this rate

My supervisor has the same set-up as Jan the two monitors and nice system. At the shop, we have an older Dell running Windows XP. I feel like Jessie once in awhile at work running around for minutes trying to get something done and end up at the beginning of the current mess. It's a three way tie of my favorite females on Nine to Nine, Jessie, Amber and the lynx gal. (What is her name?)

Lynx gal doesn't have a name yet :\ I need to think of something that fits...
