He thought it would be a good idea, and can sign his own purchase requests.

The real downside of ubiquitous PCs is that I've got to do my own typing. In my first position the group (about 20 engineers; I was an engineer then; my diplomas still say "BSME" and "MSME") actually had a person with a typewriter! She could not only read my handwriting (slightly better than the scratches of a drunken chicken) but could also knew the correct way (for that company) of formatting memoranda and reports.

To be more accurate, I should have said "MBA's who have no experience programming" instead of just "MBA's" in my prior post. The real problem with giving PCs to managers (not MBA's, per se) is that many of them start to manage by PowerPoint and Excel, instead of leaving their offices and peaking over people's shoulders. My current supervisor is actually quite good (and he's not reading this 8-)).
