    I used to have a pretty sweet Thinkbook for work. It flipped around into a tablet and had a stylus in a little slot, and a solid casing and everything. The motherboard went bad. I told my company to remove the hard drive and let me fix the computer for myself. I even offered to pay for it. It was a nice machine. They said no. I sent it to IT and it went to the laptop graveyard.

      Management doesn’t understand storage. For a while we had to destroy mobo, RAM and drive from departing devices, to ‘protect’ patient information.
