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.


Added in edit

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-)).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
