Heh, i bought a surplus monitor from work after they upgraded to g50 monitors and pc330 systems. i got an 8515 with the same sticker on it! i was thinking about removing it, but i think i might keep it now! i think it was really a documented effort to make sure people werent doing non work environment things on their workstations in accordance with business conduct guidelines. (no games, no www.xxx.com, etc) In a message dated 98-01-17 01:57:20 EST, you write: << I saw this label on an IBM monitor in a thrift shop the other day and I thought some of you guys might get a kick out of it. It read: USE OF THIS DEVICE IS RESTRICTED TO IBM MANAGEMENT APPROVED PURPOSES ONLY and they even had a policy number for this mandate: Z229-0444-00 Beauracracy at it's finest. >>
