TRUE STORY - Happened today

Funny you should say that. My company just absorbed another ad agency and we rolled out x number of PCs for the agency and x number of Macs for their Art Directors.

I made a mistake and accidentally rolloed out a new G3 to the head art director. He complained and insisted that I get him a PC.

I apologized for the mistake and assigned one of my techs to start configuration of a PC with the appropriate Art Director software (Quark, PhotoShop, Illustrator, etc).

A day later, the tech goes up there with the new PC and comes back with the PC in hand. Says the Art Director has had a day to play with the Mac and likes it. He won't give it up.

Now I gotta talk to our finance guy to get the money to buy another G3 for the person who was not rolled out. Luckily, she is on maternity leave and won't miss it yet.
