              Can't remember the exact details but we had a system we had developed running on a server for a while, then the infrastructure people changed its settings to the average that it had needed over the time it had been running. For some reason it started to run badly at times after that. Someone then went to try to explain what average means to them.

                  I was asked to spec a highend laptop for Sharepoint 2010 development. Due to extreme space constraints at the client site, using a secondary monitor will not be possible. So naturally I ask for 1920x1080 (or better) resolution. They* come back to me with a 1366x768 spec.... :mad: * Not even the retailer, one of our 'top' hardware guys...

                  A number of years ago I suggested through our suggestion scheme that developers be given a second monitor (because I wanted a second monitor) and was given 50 quid reward for an idea that should improve the productivity of the developers.

                            I was given a bottle of wine for suggesting that they pay fire marshals a small retainer when I became a fire marshal. No extra pay though.

                                They did something even more incredible last week, and costly, but they are still very sensitive about it so I will not be putting details anywhere public. Maybe in a few years time when everyone involved has left and the company has forgotten how much money they have had to fork out to fix the problem.

                                          Depends on the system being used. Laptops are limited to 2 screens, and shoehorning a 2nd gpu into smaller cases can be a challenge. USB2 solutions are unfortunately bandwidth crippled, and I'm not aware of any USB3 gfx adapters. And even they did exist my work laptop/docking station don't support them. :(( :((
