Back in the early 2000s I was looking after about 8 different computers, networked together at the studios. All was OK for a while, after Id done the initial sort out that was needed, but then nearly every day, I started getting weird errors that didn't make any sense...
Long story short, one of the employees who lived on site, had taken to sneaking around in the dead of night, in order to build his very own 'secret' computer - To be located and connected to the network in his own room, unknown to anyone else...
Well that in itself is bad enough, but heres the kicker - He was building 'HIS' PC, by using parts out of the other computers! - Stick of ram here, network card there etc... And he knew enough to swap parts around as well to try and cover himself - Meaning actual processors were being swapped between systems, as well as plug and play cards!
He covered his tracks for a good while, by always leaving the systems working, but as you can imagine, weird error after weird error that made ZERO sense whatsoever!
That was my experience of trying to do someone a favour!
