They were cranky and we had to keep the Admin one happy because it did Payroll. I even got to practice what little COBOL coding I knew on it from time to time!<BR/><BR/>When we finally merged with the big hospital up the street and they helped finance networking our whole facility, our CFO at the time wanted to raffle off chances to take a sledgehammer to the little monster. Believe me, we all wanted a shot at that thing. <BR/><BR/>Cooler heads prevailed and I found an outfit that could recycle or refurbish every piece of ancient tech we were pulling out of our buildings. And they PAID us to come haul our junque away!! We're talking a small warehouse full, stacked at least counter height, with barely a space for a trail through the wreckage!<BR/><BR/>WendyB_09WendyB_09https://www.blogger.com/profile/03788918629240949526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914238121679939863.post-89165230491127054352009-04-12T10:00:00.000-04:002009-04-12T10:00:00.000-04:00Happily, I did not know what the problem in the pi...Happily, I did not know what the problem in the picture was, and could not identify the BSOD.

You win the raffle, you can throw this computer off the top of the building OR smash this computer into bits with the big mallet and so on and so forth.<BR/><BR/>People would SO pay money for this.Random Michelle Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817444379694818074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914238121679939863.post-21641109345932552802009-04-11T13:10:00.000-04:002009-04-11T13:10:00.000-04:00Hmm.
