A forward-thinking Fortune 500 company decided to make the transition from Windows to Linux, but only gave their IT department one weekend to switch everything over. The actual install process went surprisingly smoothly, but then they ran into a problem trying to get the network to recognize all of the computers. They quickly traced this to the server needing to know the original Windows IP for each and every terminal in the building before it could assign a new Linux IP. The machines were all offline and had to have the IPs manually copied from their monitors, so the two IT workers frantically rushed through the office cubicle by cubicle, jotting them all down, along with the user's name for each. With only minutes left before Monday morning's shift, the lead admin noticed that there was one IP/name missing, and asked his assistant if perhaps he had memorized it but forgotten to write it down. "Who was it, sir?" "Wyatt from accounting" "Mr. Hertz?" "Yes" "Damnit! I don't know Wyatt Hertz' Win IP!!!" /ducks to avoid incoming rotten food projectiles...
