He FREAKIN' did it AGAIN!!!!!

We're opening up a new branch in Feb., and we needed a few more computers. So my boss orders a couple of IBMs--he's partial to IBM. We get them last week, and I ask today if he ordered XP Pro or 2000 Pro. After the first goof, he ordered a sweet 2000 pro machine which I liked more than XP. Anyway, he wasn't sure, but leaned more towards 2000 pro. I start unpacking the thing and then started wondering if I might be able to keep this one for my business use and give my older machine--P2 350 Mhz, 64MB RAM, 8GB hd, and 30GB hd--to the new branch. I would retain the 30GB hd. I think the new IBM had a P4 <1Ghz, at least 128MB RAM, and probably a heck of a lot better video card.

So anyway... I'm pulling out the keyboard--usb internet keyboard with cd/sound controls, the mouse--usb scroll mouse, the box--already covered that, SPEAKERS--my current is an internal, get all this plugged in, and then I look at the license.......

FREAKIN' XP HOME EDITION!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!

The real kicker is when I told him about it, he seemed--at least to me--mad at the company for the screw up?!?!?

Read here for the first offense:
