Wow! Now this is a PC! (With the 92" monitor, naturally.)
Any chance, Boss?
No, thought not.

Posted to Science and technology by Simon Brunning at November 05, 2003 01:32 PMAfter careful consideration (analysing the amount of time you spend surfing/blogging ‘v’ your laughable levels of productivity) we are unable to justify this request or any request that entails spending money on you. The phrase “throwing good money after bad” springs to mind. Try asking when hell freezes over.
I hope you still feel sufficiently motivated.
Posted by: El Presidente on November 5, 2003 01:56 PMA mere snip at $25299.98! ($7500 for the PC, the rest for the monitor...) Lets have one for each of the team. Might need a wider desk too....
Posted by: Mark Matthews on November 5, 2003 01:57 PMIs that a no then?
Posted by: Dan on November 5, 2003 01:58 PMMy levels of motivation have not been modified, Paul.
I'm worth every penny, Mark. We all are.
Posted by: Simon Brunning on November 5, 2003 01:59 PMForget it Simon, I asked for a new stapler yesterday to replace the one you mangled and I got a slap for my troubles.
Posted by: Dan on November 5, 2003 02:02 PMYou gave Simon Brunning a stapler? Do you give your children razor blades to play with?

Posted by: Glenn on November 5, 2003 02:56 PMAh, but which operating system does it run?
Posted by: Andy Todd on November 5, 2003 03:06 PMWoops, just found it. Sorry kids, no Debian GNU/Linux - no cheque from me ;-)
Posted by: Andy Todd on November 5, 2003 03:08 PMHmmm. But if it's a hoax, it's a *good* one. There's a lot of plausable detail on the site - the logo page, for example.

I suppose that it *could* be a hoax, but I doubt it myself.
Andy, it's a Windows box - http://www.go-l.com/winxp4l/winxp4l/index.htm
As shipped, that is. I'm sure Knoppix would work OK. ;-)
