Plum Crazy

“Don’t heap too much praise on me,” I told the system support technician at work when I informed them that he never rescinded the administrative privileges he temporarily granted me yesterday to fix a problem on my PC. He was shocked, pleasantly so, that someone would bother to tell him this. What he didn’t know was that I didn’t tell him until after I made some long-awaited tweaks to my system – updating my Palm Desktop software and loading Real Player and a more robust Windows Media Player. (Worse, I had to find a way around the strict internet access restrictions we have here to find sites I could download Real Player and Windows Media Player from.) I confessed to my offense with Palm Desktop, figuring correctly that he wouldn't mind too much, but the other two transgressions are best kept between me and you faithful Blog readers.
