Last year I was hired as a consultant to "untie the IT mess" for a manufacturing company that made really BIG stuff. They couldn't figure out the little stuff though, such as computers. The IT Director was this goober that was stuck in the 60s (and even dressed like it). It was a paying gig, so I bit my lip and went on. First day in, they took me to the "computer room". I kid you not, there was a 10Mbps hub suspended from the CAT5 cables coming out of the patch panel! I didn't realize they were being specific when they said "untie"! The room was peaking 85 degrees, the only place I could sit was straddling the server (no kidding) which was a large clone tower about 5 years old running Windows 98. Unbelievable was the server...125 people connected to this Win98 box. There were 10 hard drives in this thing, each with a different share password--their idea of security. The place was a fire hazard from all of the papers and just junk from every box, piece of software, etc they'd ever purchased. They couldn't have ever thrown anything away! And I mentioned it was a manufacturing company, right? Right outside the office was the welding shop. So it smelled great! And ever so often the exhaust fan would start and blow all of the papers all over the place. The IT Director said, "Hey, it's worked for this long...why change it?"
