Subject: The future of I.T.


There are to be a lot of changes that are going to be taking place across the board as far as the servers & personal commputers in our organisation go.

The goal is to remove all laptop computers by January 2003 and all desktop Computers by March next year.

Instead everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch.

There are many sound reasons for doing this:

1. No boot-up problems
2. No technical glitches keeping work from being done.
3. No more wasted time reading and writing emails.
4. No more worries about power cuts.
5. Budget savings on Upgrades unparalleled

Frequently Asked Questions from the Etch-A-Sketch Help Desk:

Q: My Etch-A-Sketch has all of these funny little lines all over the screen.
A: Pick it up and shake it.

Q: How do I turn my Etch-A-Sketch off?
A: Pick it up and shake it.

Q: What's the shortcut for Undo?
A: Pick it up and shake it.

Q: How do I create a New Document window?

Q: How do I set the background and foreground to the same colour?

Q: How do I delete a document on my Etch-A-Sketch?

This is Exactly what I thought.
