So another client had a problem... apparently one of their super-smart people decided that he'd like to head home and take his shiny, new, company-issued, expensive laptop with him; to do some extra work that evening. Well, this super smart person found that his laptop wasn't coming free of his docking station. What to do, what to do... force it.
Well, next thing you know... his laptop was free. He took it home, telling no one of his troubles and thought nothing of it. Until the next morning, when he couldn't get the laptop to connect properly to his docking station. Further examination revealed that he had damaged his shiny, new, company-issued, expensive laptop and the accompanying docking station. After a quick examination (by yours truly), it was apparent that the laptop's motherboard needed to be replaced (to repair the damaged docking port) and the docking station recycled properly (as it was damaged far beyond repair).
Moral of the story: Even super smart people can be extremely stupid.
