I regularly use this very mac here on sites if I need my own laptop. But this was an office laptop that wanted a new Flash, that it couldn't have.
I do carry a 7" tablet so I can browse any site that I want to, that the client might ban. I accept their right to ban sites from their computers, but not from my brain.

I could print to any printer there, and earned myself a quite few beers doing that for others

My new work this site (contractoruk forum) is banned ... so is jobserve... reason is that is a job search site ...
Really annoyed me, I wouldn't mind them banning jobserve and the main contractor uk site, but why the forum (suppose it has links to the jobsearch too) thing is they are not banning linked in or job search within it !!

I have had some vicious fights in the past with folks who expected me to install the latest version of various bits of software on a corporate PC.
They might have thought I was an idiot but they didn't win.

Nope it means you need a grown up to install it for you. Probably find they are about to lock down the PC's even more.

I tried to download a new version of Flash, for a trainign course. Access was refused because the site fell into the classification of.....
"Information Technology".
