Remote Fleet

Here's part of an email I got today from a guy at the office where my remote fleet is:

please do not install this on system's in the office.

<DIV><SPAN class=898022722-02072002><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=898022722-02072002><FONT face=Arial size=2>My system particularly was acting really weird today, and anytime I walked away and came back to the system it took about 2 minutes for it to come out of a slight coma before letting me get back to work.</FONT></SPAN>

Of course, Seti isn't installed on his system

Anytime in the past he has had ANY sort of trouble, he blames Seti and shuts it down. Luckily, I have permission to run it and he doesn't make the decisions. Thanks to the Flexinstaller, Seti has been running on most of the systems in the office for months and months with nary a complaint.

This guy remembered from a about a year ago that Seti had been on some of the systems so he blames it for his poor system performance :|:|:|

It's annoying but funny at the same time.

It looks like I'll be losing a good part of my remote fleet anyway, due to unrelated developments......sad, but I've got an awful lot of WU's out of a bunch of old Celerons and even the odd PII.
Besides, with the speed of new systems, it'll be easy to replace the output of the entire fleet with a few well timed assimilations! 😀</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
 
And this would be the person who installs every single shareware app, CometCursor, the "Speed up your internet connection by 500%" apps, the "Make your computer 200% faster" apps and any other thing that is out there on the internet.

Either that or he's set it to go to Standby after like 1 min!


It's these sorta people who should not be allowed to use computers or install anything!

Personally, I love stupid computer people.....


It is job security for me.....

It's a Love/Hate relationship for me, as I like it when things run smoothly. I hate some of the moronic things people do, especially when they do really stupid stuff (Fred, I opened that email just like you told me not to), but I love it as it does keep me in a job. 😀

Same thing for Microsoft. Talk about your job security. Why I stay busy just applying the latest security patches to all the systems at work. 😀

It's a GOOD thing he doesn't have SETI installed on his PC though, sometimes those idiots can cause lots of trouble with their whining and complaining. :|
 
I think all the IDIOTS should be put on a Windows 2000 Professional machine and only be given USER status so they can't change the wallpaper, the clock, but most importantly, can't install anything they're not supposed to. 😀
 
This is the guy who maintains the systems at that office! 😛

and, yes, he does have every known shareware app installed. His system tray has the most icons of any I've seen!

It still boggles the mind that he blamed Seti when it wasn't even installed.

My numbers are going down as we speak! There have been lots of layoffs and computers are being shut down.

🙁

oh well, I'm going to Calgary to visit my ex-girlfriend and, while I'm there, I'll assimilate her new P4 system! 😀

We do this with nearly all of the Win2K workstations where I work.. of course, we don't call them IDIOTS, we simply call them STAFF. 😉
