My fax machine is a dick. What else in your office is a dick?

our office has a whore of a fax machine! The paper feeder never works!!! We ordered another one but heaven knows when we'll get it... I'm thinking some time after spring break?
Most of the equipment I work with is experimental prototype hardware. We've got one system where if it crashes in a certain way, we have to unplug it, open it up, pop out a backup battery, wait a few hours, pop the battery back in, and plug it back in before it'll start up again.
The software I use is held together with bailing wire and prayer...if it goes down again, it's so old that it's no longer being supported. Every keystroke is an adventure.
My software on the microscope is a big penis. It crashed three times yesterday. All I really have to do is blow on it the wrong way.
@-j: You should upgrade to duct tape. We've got a prototype from a top IT vendor that literally has pieces duct-taped on, and it runs fine.
I have resorted to bringing my own laptop sor TWO running machines, because my co-worker and I share a serial for our main design programs. If he's using it, I have to get off the network. Oh, and it CAN'T be him, because he must be connected to the filemaker server, and it's too annoying for him to get off and on. Oh, and did I mention that this software is his to begin with, because there isn't anything here that's not "borrowed" from somewhere or pirated.
