My boss asked me to migrate him to a new computer..it's not really my job but I've become lately, a 'yes' man to their whims until I find another job. I digress though, this isn't the funny part.
He told me he packed up all his files into a directory on the desktop. It was something like 4 gigs of data, and I had to manually back up his email. I started with the email and it took a good amount of time (about a gig of email). Set that up, ready to go.
I started a transfer of the files on his desktop by hooking his computer up to a switch and just copying them over the network onto his new PC. I made sure not to connect to the whole network and affect file transfer rates because they use hubs, not switches... and have a lot of collisions.
Anyways... the files are copying and I run away for a few minutes to get other work done. I come back for 5 minutes to see the percentage done, and it's at about 10% or so.
I look at the file it's currently copying...
alt.binaries.multimedia.erotica\legsxxx.mpg
There were lots of files in this directory. I started blasting out laughing and just walked away... but I had to share this.
