Here's a computer department delight for you:

a week or so ago I was trying to get another problem resolved by a very friendly/helpful IT guy who was impressed by the error code I was getting that he'd never come aross before. Anyway, as he had to pass the problem on to someone else, I thought I'd mention that I'd filled the 600meg I was given on a network drive and could use more space if that was allowed. No problem, came the reply, have 4 gig.

So you can imagine my spluttering today when we were told that we had to tidy up the space that 55 odd people (definitely odd!) use as the shared library drive for files we all access. We must tidy up because there was no way we could have more room. Guess how much space we take up on the drive? 1.6 gig.
