Keith Browning Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 My company has embraced the Internet as a valuable tool. We not only have our own computer system (which most do) but just about every job position has the ability to use the Internet. In my shop for example, most of the technicians have their own PC or laptop. I have a nice new Dell laptop nested in a Snap-on cabinet mounted to my tool box. We are all directly connected to the server and a nice speedy T-1 line. As far as use is concerned there really is nobody looking over my shoulder though they can monitor my usage if they wanted to.I am typically logged-on to FMC Dealer all day and I usually peruse my site and some of the other forums during by breaks and lunch. I think that as long as an employee is productive and does not break any company rules, a limit is really unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Our server is full is the word I get... no connection in my bay. The computer in the coffee room (where WSMs and our connection to OASIS and inford - Canadian tech site - reside) is largely abused with strange stuff appearing in spite of IT efforts. I can see their reluctance to grant anyone network privileges on any sort of personal device. Still, we research aftermarket accessories at will, do web based training when time permits, etc. Even without a connection, my laptop is invaluable in that I have all the WSMs at hand and use WDS desktop mode when necessary. It might be difficult to "get connected" if the powers that be aren't aware of the capabilities of integrated communications available with a well designed computer network.... if one or two in the shop abuse what privileges are granted, it will be even tougher to get these privileges back...
