What do you need?

There is an ongoing low-level project to create an inventory of all of the PCs and laptops in use among the employees. The machines at the office are easy. Just walk around, write the user's name and their PC model and serial number.

An email goes out:
We are collecting information about the company's active PC and laptops. Please reply to this email with your computer's model and serial number.

The responses are classic:

  • I have Microsoft Outlook
  • My laptop or my home computer?
  • Compaq 192.168.1.107
  • Blackberry 8700
  • Intel Inside Pentium 4
  • Windows
  • Viewsonic
And my personal favorite:
  • Power
I don't think they even read the email?
