RE: quit yer whinin
It sounds like you also work in support. You know, that's part of your JOB. These people you're helping are not paid to know computers inside and out like YOU are -- it's not their main job. In all likelihood, it is a small part of their job. They are not paid to be computer wizards so quit your whining.

How about this sunshine, why don't these people use the equipment PROPERLY! like they're meant to. That is part of the job description, "To use information technology efficiently and effectively as part of the business process".

That isn't asking people to debug a kernel, write a driver or develop a J2EE application, it is about the end user actually USING the business equipment EFFECTIVELY and EFFICIENTLY for WORK RELATED PURPOSES!

Instead of these people changing their desktops to suite their "feng suai", how about doing their doing instead! amazing, actually USING information technology FOR WORK related purposes! amazing! what a revolution!
