    It's funny that this forum popped right when I needed it! This is the only time I've ever "lifted" a smiley from CP and put it into a company email (Sorry Chris!), see if you can guess which one. I got an email from my counterpart at one our other sites. He's asking what the impact is on our Tivoli database if he takes all the hardware out of a machine and drops it into another case. OK, fine. I told him nothing, so long as the mobo and hard drive gets moved over with the O/S intact. Then I read a little farther down and he says that he's been told to replace the case on every Dell GX270 computer they have because "they don't look good"! Mind you, the machines do get a bit dusty in our environment, but nothing that would warrant this. ...Uhhhh... yeah... like we've got nothing better to do!

            I've recently had a somewhat similar experience in which certain people on the team I used to work with wanted to completely re-write an application because they wanted to use the intellisense feature of Visual Studio. Apparently, for some people, there is no better use of a companies resources than changing aesthetics. Phil

              Hey, I also almost bought a new case. I, however, refrained from doing so when I learned the price of the case I had laid my eyes on. However, my case is now printed neon red with neon green stripes and purple-metallic dots. PRETTY!

              Cheers, Sebastian -- Contra vim mortem non est medicamen in hortem.
