That's a pretty impressive morning's work!
 
Damnit now I have to call the guy up and tell him we are sending his pc back to IBM. The motherboard was faulty, stupid IBM netvistas.
 
Or

IBM
Intermittently Broken Machines

That about fits their description, although it seems the P3 netvista is the only one that loves to die for no reason whatsoever. The old 300PL and the new P4 machines are flawless.
 
When I go home I just lock the machine so nobody can use it and when I come to work I just unlock it and its ready for use :)

Maybe ill give it a weekend rest.

Don't you have onsite maintenance? We've got about 7 IBM servers, and we've had trouble with all of them. We're buying Dells now.
 
Heh no only the IBM Laptops have onsite maintenance. All the other IBM workstations are offsite, I just asked my boss why and he made that "lack of cash" sign with his hands. The majority of the servers here are compaq, they dont seem to have many problems.
