That sucks quite a bit.  I tend to pull them out of
skips, or get given them by computer support guys :)

Neither did I - maybe that's because they DON'T!  Our
purchasing dept, aren't exactly, well, competent. 
They couldn't order a sun, even if WE told them where
to get it - they have to use their own stupid
procedures, and anything even slightly unusual is just
impossible.  Come on - they had to use a credit card
to order us a 'high-end' PC from dabs, but they
sheepishly told us WEEKS later, it wouldn't be coming,
in fact dabs refused to ship it, because they
OVERSPENT their credit limit!  (we just got it last
week, after a two month wait.)

Oh, I work for a company employing over 260,000
people.  We overspent our credit card!!! HAHHAHAA!  We
want our sun - we NEED it.  I don't think we're ever
going to get it :(

Dave.
