27,000 Games of Solitaire

We were pleased to get one of our clients placed in the Vancouver Sun today, talking about the ways in which employees abuse corporate computers (decaying link):

Computer troubleshooter Chris Aconley once found an employee’s computer had clocked 27,000 games of solitaire since it has been set up.

In another technical tragedy, he discovered a virus had been transmitted from a tanker company’s head office to its entire fleet of ships — with a per-character charge for the millions of lines of virus code, which added up to a whopping $500,000 Telex bill.

Fear, uncertainty and doubt are compelling to journalists.
