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.

Inflation beater
Today I have upgraded my tired old desktop machine with some well-deserved and long awaited components.
10 years ago RAM went for about R300/Mb (thats right, 1 megabyte cost about £25!) I have just fitted 2Gb for the same price! Has anything else ever fared that well against inflation?
If cars were computers, they should retail for probably about £10 by now... and crash unexpectedly just after the service warranty expires!
