And annoyingly, I'm not allowed to touch hardware any more, despite the training. Apparently I'm too valuable to waste my time playing with hardware.
So with comments like that, who do they employ for hardware, and it would certainly answer the puzzle over the mess these servers get in once they have been attacked by the hardware 'engineers'
..so the hardware sits broken as you watch a succession of muppets trying to fix it?
I was thinking in particular about the guy from a well known online PC retailer who took the case off my PC, then replaced it and, upon hitting on the odd occasion when the intermittent fault would allow it to boot, pronounced that the problem must have been that the case was fitted wrongly since that was the only thing he had disturbed.
I suppose, on the bright side, there is a glimmer of logic behind that diagnosis but unimpaired by the faintest clue how a PC works.
