Plug & Play

Plug & Play is one of those things that people in IT like. 

It seldom works quite like that.

My experience is more Plug & We-Didn't-Tell-You-About-This-Though & Order-New-Thing & Oh-Now-This-Doesn't-Work & Google & Reconfigure & Reboot & Wait For Updates & Order-Next-New-Thing & Reboot & Install-New-Drivers & Now-This-Doesn't-Work & I'll-Stick-This-Plug-Where-The-Sun-Don't-Shine & Give-Up.

And so, my professional IT Tip for the week is don't mess around with hardware when you've bought something and didn't find the "other system requirements".

I hope your Friday evening isn't quite as bad tempered as mine.
