Nice! I always hear of people getting certain things from work. Only thing I get for free at work are facemasks..... Healthcare blows, I should switch to a tech job to get free tech!

yeah it took six of us to persuade one company's IT group to switch to handing us Macs for work... we did it by dragging our own Macs in on the subway to demo how fast we could put together working prototype apps. Those Macs we were carting around were portable but almost as heavy as the "luggable" PCs like early Compaqs. By time we sold in the idea and were rewarded with "free" desktop Macs at work, we all had biceps that were truly photogenic.

Lol. I just put one of the new MacPro’s into my car boot earlier. Had to put the seats down. It’s huge.
Unfortunately I was just dropping it off for someone.

Dell Latitude E6520 laptop (x 2) from a business that was shutting down. Not anywhere near "latest/greatest", but will be good to play with.

Ordered right after Christmas and it was supposed to deliver on the 30th. Tracking info never updated just showed UPS label created. Contacted Target last Wednesday and they refunded it and said if it shows up feel free to keep it or donate it. The next day tracking info changed to show it would deliver today.

Fantastic game. Hard but very fun.

Been with DirecTV for 18 years... about time I got something for free (actually, I get it free about every other year, simply by asking for it via the "Loyalty" or "Retention" department).
