Returning co-worker prank

abramflansburg · 2015-10-08T16:31:59.000Z

So… one of our co-workers left the company and moved away, only to decide that they liked it better here. So they’re moving back and returning to work. We’ve removed all of their previous equipment (they literally left a couple of weeks back) and replaced it. Thoughts, suggestions, improvements? And yes, the mouse is a ball mouse, and the machine has a 5 1/4 floppy drive (and no 3 1/4 for some reason…). And the second machine… well I was just too lazy to move it when it turned out not to work.

I looked for a rotary phone, but couldn’t find one.

Should have just given them a typewriter.

Well done!

You should now make him install AOL.

I found a USRobotics 56K modem, so that’s going on the desk.

Why hold back? Find a dot-matrix printer to put there.

Win98 Install floppies would be a nice touch too.

Shoulda typed that message in comic sans, though.

biscuitking · 2015-10-08T16:55:51.000Z

Replace the monitor with an Etch-a-Sketch.

tonylawson2 · 2015-10-08T16:59:36.000Z

That Dilbert comic is literally hanging up.

The PC PSU made a slight ‘pop’ sound and then died. We moved the hard drive to another old working one and got the

NDIS: Windows protection error.

We’re reinstalling 98 again… Totally worth it.
