I'm a permie, I've tried the 'I'd get more work done if I didn't have to sit here listening to the grinding of the HD labouring to cope with having a spreadsheet, word document and the crap timesheet entry system all open at the same time' line...
Didn't work though

Contractors are often given the rubbish computer that no one else wants.
They think getting a 'good' computer should be a perk for management and senior permies. What they don't realise, of course, is that contractors actually use their computers to do 'work', and it would be a good idea to give them the fastest machine in the office.

I wish they'd upgrade my work computer, my home pc's graphics card has more memory than this heap of crap...
There's more than a touch of Harryhausen about the way this thing swaps from one window to another...

I've never used Vista. They did keep XP installed, so I'll consider myself lucky. Oh and they didn't revoke my internet access so that's another plus.
