    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.... :confused: Would somebody like to explain this to me?

    Take the money and run, don't look back ! :p

    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.

    You're hilarious harrack52! It's not a Compaq though; it's a business-class HP Vectra.

    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.

    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... :rolleyes:

    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:

    Would that be 5 girls, or 5 systems? Or both since we're only dreaming anyway? :smileup:

    Well 5 systems, since they come with girls.

    Girls don't come with systems, but systems do.

    BTW, I think the only way to get 5 naked girls with your PC would be to download them... :p
