for why I need it. Uh, because I work with stat analysis programs while writing complex documents including graphics while running all

those shitty Office apps, including the horrid MS Outlook. AND I plurk while doing all of that, so DUH. WTF? Did your group not even know

what we do over here before you ordered these crap PCs? have you never asked, never given a survey, never considered business needs?

And the upgrade from 1 GB to 3 GB (not 2, 3) is only $40! For fucksake lady, I'll give you the $40 to save me the frustration

*sigh* i need more sleep...

exactly, Mercè!

ah, bureaucracy.

and it's not like we're a large company. we have only about 300 employees, 25% of whom work for the IT group.

oh for fuck's sake. 1 GB. I agree with Merce re: the MS Office - what sort of torture are they subjecting you to?

it's hideous... we're an all-Microsoft company, so everything we buy is from them and they force us to learn it all. the only app of theirs

i sort of like is Excel. the rest are rubbish. add in the 1 GB of RAM... i mean, WTH?

heck, my new laptop has 3 GB.

my old laptop and my old desktop at home both have 2 GB, and -even more telling- my PHONE has 512 MB of RAM!

and, of course, after my careful reply to the IT person, she did not respond back at all. $40 people, $40. it has already cost the company

that much for the time i've wasted trying to convince her. just give it to me, and i'll install it! she doesn't have to do anything.
