This one is priceless too. I know you discussion group monitors are
probably gritting your teeth, but I thought this neede to be share as
well. Hope the rest of you find it amusing as well.

Our Corporate Operations Committee has defined a lower cost alternative
to the previously planned NT and Win 98 system conversions which will
also address the Y2K (Year 2000) issues we are facing.
All computers will be removed from the desktop by January 1, 1999.
Instead, everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch. There are
many sound and viable reasons for this decision:
1. No Y2K problems.
2. No technical glitches keeping work from being done.
3. No more wasted time reading and writing emails.
4. Reduction in technical support calls will reduce our costs associated
with maintaining our I.S. help desk.
5. Reduction in hardware costs.
6. Elimination of all software license fees.
7. Reduction in the amount of training necessary for new hires.
8. Can be used at the desktop as well as away from the office due its
extreme portability.
9. Extremely low cost makes them disposable (when one breaks, we will
simply replace it).
10. We can now hire 1st graders to do your job.
In anticipation of the questions some of you will undoubtedly have
regarding this corporate decision, we have prepared a list of the most
Frequently Asked Questions from the Etch-A-Sketch Help Desk:

screen.
