Universal Upgrade? Read on and it will all be VERY familiar. To those not in IT, this is the complete truth.
Windogg: By the end of the year we should phase out all early Pentium systems. Their components are obsolete and cannot handle the latest software and operating systems available on the market. A cost-benefit analysis will show faster systems could acheive payback in less than 6 months due to increased productivity and reduced costs of support.
Manager: Can't we just upgrade the memory?
Windogg: I would not run Adobe Photoshop 6.0 on that Toshiba 3110 notebook. The Pentium II 266 will be major bottleneck in terms of performance. In addition, the Trident video adapter and memory can only handle screen resolutions of 800x600 at 256 color and not the 32 bit color that is required for accurate representation of colors. Even if that was adequate, the screen is much too small to be useful.
Manager: Can't we just upgrade the memory?
Windogg: Due to the Americans With Disabilites act I highly recommend upgrading the older monitors to larger models. As time goes on, the degraded color and low refresh rate can lead to eyestrain, headaches, and fatique. This in turn will raise the cost of health care as well as lead to increased absenteism due to illness. The cost of upgrade will not only lead to financial gains but increased employee morale will help retain expereince people and thus save on training and orientation.
Manager: Can't we just upgrade the memory?
Windogg: The laptop got dropped down 8 fights of stairs, run over by truck, and dragged through a pond of raw sewage. It'll never run again.
Manager: Can't we just upgrade the memory?
Windogg: <<bad dubbing>> OMG!!! IT'S GODZILLA!! WE MUST FLEE THE CITY!!!
