Windows only IT departments don't know shit

The IT Dept. where I go to school at are a bunch of idiots.  They run WinXP on their servers and don't know a thing about Linux.  I asked them about putting a Linux machine on the network and this is what they told me:

"You'll have to secure it and get anti-virus software for it"

I laughed my ass off. :rolleyes:  

I work a computer lab w/ about 30 iMacs and a bunch of Gateway computers running XP Pro. That Gateway lab is down most of the time because they're "reinstalling."  It appears that everytime something goes wrong they reinstall XP.  So I decided to play a little trick on them:

When I was closing on enight, I did the classic Print Screen followed by setting it as the wall paper, getting rid of the icons and dragging the task bar down . . . You click all over the place, and nothing happens.

I come into work the next evening, and my supervisor has already called the IT people over to have a look at the computer that was "acting up."  I gave them a little more credit and gave them about 5 min. to solve the little dilema.  

10 minutes later...after clicking all over the place and nothing happening....

 :confused:   "I'll have to reinstall."  

 :eek:  

They never once tried to reboot or even hit the Start button on the keyboard.  I was amazed...  

Please tell me there are more competent all-windows IT depts. out there.  Give me a little hope for society...please

SAJChurchey:
This just goes to show you how incompetent some IT depts. are.  There are many stories around here about them screwing things up.  Once I get my CCNA I might go in and show them how it's done.
