I just got done ordering a new laptop for my coworker.  Her old faithful lappie died on her this last night when she brought it home to get some work done.  Once she got it started, the laptop konked out in a blink of an eye.  She came in today, IT folks tried to save it, but it was fruitless.  Me being the admin for the department has to order her a new lappie since her lappie was already 5 years old.   The IT folks said it is easier to get a new laptop rather than adding new laptop memory.  This is because her laptop is already old per se, IT folks rather have employees get a new one if their department has the budget for it.  Sigh, wish I can have a laptop myself, then I can work from home some day.
