Computer Renaissance

I doubt I spelled it right.. but is it just me or do ALL of those computers suck? Literally ever one i've come across has had caps that have either bulged, leaked, or literally exploaded. I mean where the hell do they get the boards from? Its no surprise that horrid company went out of business..

Coworkers

I don't understand this. I am running circles around my coworkers in regards to meeting case productivity for the night and they are discouraging me. They are all like "well management will expect it all the time from you". Frankly... I want management to expect top numbers from me. Am I wrong for that? I'm not some overachieving teacher's pet or anything but hell.. I am here for 8.5 hours a night, if I'm not doing cases I am surfing the net. Granted it was cool the first few nights but it's fucking boring. The only other thing I want to be doing is playing Playstation 2. So if I have to spend 8.5 hours at work, what is the problem with me actually doing work?

Does anyone else think that me going above and beyond the bare minimum is bad? Should I just meet the "standard productivity" for the night and slack off like my loser coworkers? I really wanna know what everyone else thinks.

We're using symantec ghost corporate 7 to make images for all the labs.
we are putting winxp on them, but every time we ghost a machine it still asks for a cd key.
we run sysprep, so it shouldnt be asking us.
does anyone have any ideas?

(it didnt do this with win2k, jsut xp)

(i figured one of you tech support people might know...)

Granted users can be a pain in the @$$ ...

.. but sometimes, especially if you are working for an outsourcer, managment is even more cluless then the user. Case and point.
