    Grrrrrrrrrr

    Call from a user.....my PC has hung.

    After the usual questioning (underwear, bra size, etc), I finally find the problem.

    She is trying to send a 693MB girls holiday avi file to her friend.

    I tell her the usual spiel about company networks not to be used for personal info, yada yada.

    Then she lays in to me...."I thought we all had broadband now and stuff just, like, is fast and instant".

    693MB FFS !

    Now the MD is asking why no-one can send or receive email...the system seems a bit "slow"

    Right...that's it....I'm sure she signed an appropriate usage form somewhere...wonder what HR will make of this.....

    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

    Oh FFS !

    The person she sent it to, her friend, works in HR who is now trying to send it to her mates outside.

    <slams head against monitor>

    Somedays, I really despair.

        I once had an argument with someone that they HONESTLY do have an Esc key on their keyboard for 45mins....... take consolation in the fact that, without them.... we'd all be out of a job!!!!

          Who set up the email system so that it allows 693MB attachments?

            If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

              Surely if she's sending it to HR...... this could be held and used to your advantage at some point in the future........

                  Why is the escape key only there for 45 mins?
