Memo To All Staff From Tech Support

Management has determined that there is no longer any need for network or software applications support. The goal is to remove all computers from the desktop by Dec. 31, 2003.

Instead, everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch. There are many sound reasons for doing this:

1. No OS problems.
2. No technical glitches keeping work from being done.
3. No more wasted time reading and writing emails.

Good god, man! Do you realize that the start of the 'generation gap' coincides to within hours of the once ubiquitous 'etch-a-sketch?!
I'll leave it to you to flesh out the details, but this one should practically etch itself.
