techrecoveryMerry freaking Christmas, tech support lackies!
My manager pretty much always comes through for us. He's the 'golden boy' at work cause he gets shit DONE. Every once and a while, upper management bucks what he wants to do...which basically makes him do the same goddamn thing, just in a different way.
Sometimes, though, upper management comes trhough for us too.
I put in a purchase order for computers for the new hires that we're bringing on in January. (Yeah, if you want to work at $COMPANY, we're hiring agian in May.) The last bunch of hires got piddly little T42 Thinkpads. They're not bad, but they're not awesome either. (You try and troubleshoot Xen when all you've got is a T42!) This group of noobs gets delicious upper end Dell 690's--64 bit goodness, dual core, dvd burners, lcds...or, as $BOSS put it, "those fancy 64-bit dual core thingies. See if $UPPERMANAGEMENT notices."
Aparently they didn't because the PO was approved yesterday. :D
(And don't worry--senority in our little group dictates that the people who've been here the longest get the option to take one of the 64bit monsters and give up their little Thinkpads or ThinkCetnres ($DEITY have mercy on people with ThinkCentres. We had the DAMNEST time getting a stable FC6 image on them.))
