This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

Secret File Sharing Network
My last palce of work we had 2 hidden PC's on the system. 1 for programs and 1 for ghost builds. This was great cos we could build and install on any PC on the network wereever we went without carrying a load of disks with us (I'm guess 99% of IT systems use this)

But then came the time when the HD's got too full and needed to be upgraded. They gave the task to us, the 4 20 soemthings who kept everything working.

So we found the best broken *cough* PC's, canabalised them and used some spare parts to make a decent machine. We also managed to get an order for 2 1 tet HD's for the programs and ghost builds. (ran windows off a 3rd drive)

Now since we didn't technicaly need that much space for the programs we created a hidden folder that only we 4 knew about. We then promtly started bringing in last nights downloads, putting them in this folder and grabbing the others downloads from it. This is still probably going on today but they let the 2 temps go (I was one of them) so I'll never know.

I still managed to get some files from them after I had left thanks to the copy of their VPN I had installed on my home PC and the lazyness theat kept them from disabling my account until 3 months after I had left.

What fun, what files. They probably still hate me for giving them "2 girls having fun with a cup"
