Don't believe it. Send remote desktop connection details so we can verify it!

Ahhh, they gave you a server o/s so more difficult to play games.
actually more likely a left over item, and they're too cheap out of budget to buy a normal machine.
seems a waste to me: I'd roll linux onto it and run windows in a VMs (can have a few VM's and they won't suffer the throttling that Windows Server applies to VM's, not to mention all that winserver farting about forever "adding roles" to get the simplest things done, and finding out the license doesn't include that, not to mention the 32bit compatibility quirks.)

Machines were in place before I started here. A waste? On a normal user, yes. I'm not entirely sure it would have cost significantly less for a desktop box, given the government's propensity for spending more than they should on stuff.
As for "rolling linux onto it", that's a non-starter on a DoD box.

I just tried using my HMO's new mail system to send my doctor a request for renewal of an extensive list of prescriptions. His response?
"The mail screen is too small, and I cannot read past line 8"
As MM would say, who the faarrrkkkk designs a mail screen that cannot scroll?

Are you sure it's the app? Most doctors I've seen have been slightly less technically capable than my cat ...

My doctor can actually scroll down a screen. I've seen him do it!

Intentionally, or by accident?

Well, he didn't swear when it happened, so I assume it was intentional.

Some aren't drugs, but other medical supplies that the !@#$ HMO requires doctors to sign off on. Apparently, they think the doctors don't have enough work...

Hey, my provider fixed that problem! They changed it so there is a maximum character limit in messages sent to the doctors. Fit your request in 500 characters or less, otherwise you should probably call and speak with someone.
I'd be surprised if they are using an internally developed mail client but not out of the realm of possibilities. Used to work for one that did just that for "security" reasons. Most HMOs use one of the big EHR systems such as Epic or GE.
Or the craziest idea of all! They do use one of the big EHR systems and there is a bug in it, not like would ever happen though.

Maybe just the message preview screen.
From now on begin every e-mail with eight lines of legalese about not reading the message if he's not the intended recipient etc. etc. etc.

Garfield wouldn't approve, but my two greyhounds follow that to a 'T':
1. Get up, jangle the collars and click the nails on the hardwood floors to wake Dad up.
2. Eat breakfast, go out, come back in.
3. Doze until 4:30 p.m. when Dad comes home.
4. Wake up, eat, go out, run zoomies for 45-60 seconds, come back in.
5. Nap until Dad goes to bed at 9:30-10:00.
6. Wake up, trot upstairs, argue briefly over who sleeps on which bed on the floor, go to sleep.
7. GOTO 1

Would it not be good if you had not go through Pun Farr only every seven years?
