    He went into his outlook settings and added the boss' mailbox to open when he opened his. Then he deleted the message sent items.

    Awesome. :D But Webdude was an idiot for rebooting the server based on a conversation with a salesguy. Sales staff cannot be trusted to know their a$$ from their elbow. If sales says "the website is down" that translates to "my mouse isn't working" or "I spilled RedBull on my keyboard".

    User passwords limits are also set up by the systems admins, they should have made it have a longer requirement than just 1 letter haha. i'm referring to the "a" password that the user had.

    Windows? If you hold down "Alt" and hit Tab, then it shows you all the programs you are running and lets you tab through them without a mouse. I think that was what it was he used, although it looked a little different on his machine than it does on mine.

    That was awesome - I loved the salesguy having two solitaire sessions and sex with vegetables open.

    Restoring his icons as a background picture was the best.

    I liked the VOIP phone system they were using. That was pretty sweet.
