After having all PC's & Networks shut down for half the day due to a viral problem, here's the mail we received from IT.... Hi everyone, Please be advised that the problems with the virus attack are now solved: You can now start-up your pc and log-on to the network. Now, it’s not that I'm ungrateful or anything but as I'd logged off and shut down the PC as directed, I wasn't exactly in a position to read the mail they'd sent out….. These boys n girls need to get out more methinks ------------- The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. |

Derek,
Perhaps I'm missing something here, but if you had logged off and shut down your PC, how do know they sent you an email?

Yup, sounds about right. Oh sorry, when you said everyone, I thought you meant the workers, not us manager types that are busy checking our shares and idling away the hours on BMW related sites. Have we met before then?????

Our IT dept are a bunch of Nazis! They made us all this rather naff screen saver a few years back so I of course just moved the timer to 3 hours so it would never come on but what really gets me is that they now insist on having this gawd awful wallpaper now that is all arty farty soft focus bo!!ok$. I had this as my wallpaper and I much prefer it but not any longer!
My beautiful engine bay gone for ever from my desktop.
