Yup. It's a tough sell, hard for some to accept.

We bought our sales department new PCs, good, and licensed all the
software thereon. It took about a month for the machines (every one of '
'em) to each become polluted with "stuff". Some of it was OK- software to
deal with someone's digital camera. Some of it was not acceptable.

I used to feel bad about deleting this stuff or being the "bad guy". But
no more. I mean, a laptop with legal XP is $500. A home high speed
connection is $20-40/month. A desk top is 399, or 499 with a flat screen,
dvd burner, ad nauseam. 

If the sales folks want to "play" and download anything, they can
certainly afford to do it at home. The days of Home = slow speed, Office
= high speed are long gone, even in the hinterlands. 

And here's how I define my job: If it takes electricity, I'm expected to
understand it and fix it, or arrange to get it fixed. That about covers
it, yeah.
