: I can certify this is true where I work (2000+ local employees, 17,000+ 
: globally); I've added a different hard-drive, set-up TCP/IP LAN internet 
: connection, installed new drivers and an updated OS on my work machine 
: because:
: a. MIS folks were too busy to be bothered
: b. wanted to make it more complicated than necessary
: c. MIS procedures cause way too long a waiting time before work can be done
: d. didn't know how

Where I work, the support people (myself) set up everything and handle all
of the problems. The biggest problems are created by users that "monkey"
with their systems. The service is prompt enough and the system works.
