hisamishness's post reminded me of something. Some idiot at work (i.e. someone with NO FUCKING CLUE about computers and y'know, what we actually NEED) bought 30 laptops a couple of months back. All fine and dandy, they were shiny and everything, until we came to trying to download the videos the kids had made on the equally shiny new camcorders. 30 laptops, no fucking firewire ports.(We had no input whatsoever into these laptops, in fact the first we knew of them was when I got a call one day saying "Jo, can you set these new laptops up for us? They need to be ready for the kids to use in a couple of days" There followed half an hour of me and my colleagues saying "you know anything about these laptops?" and the others replying "what laptops?")
*sigh*
