A company just offered to hire me to install a 10/100 ethernet card in one of their PCs... The PC has a (working) integrated 3COM 10/100.... Would somebody like to explain this to me?
Take the money and run, don't look back ! I'm not sure what the deal is.....sometimes it's better to accept things the way they are. No need to try to understand what cannot be understood. It may be a trap though. They might be using Compaqs so watch out, those things are dangerous.
Well, I guess that could work if they wanted to use the box as a router...I know that the stuff from the likes of Realtek aren't as good as those from 3COM and Intel, but still...if it's just a workstation for reports and spreadsheets, etc... I agree, take the money and run.
have you asked them why they want to do this? are the aware that they have integrated 3COM 10/100 in the PC? if they are and still want you to insatll one, then I dont see why not!
Turns out, that's what happens when a secretary is asked to relay technical information. It's a literal game of 'telephone'. She was supposed to ask me to install a switch, not a network card. But, in this case, I'll also have to install 2 network drops in addition to a simple switch setup. Ahh well, at least I'll be earning my pay...
Were you picturing some kind of fantasy centerfold spread, or is that a deragatory remark? In either case, I agree! Ah, women and computers. :chk:
Ahhh man, it's a dual-processor Athlon FX with 8GB RAM, a Radeon 9800XT, water cooling, strobe lights and a disco ball... Sweeeeeet!!! :good: Oh, the naked chick draped across it is pretty nice too.
