I'm a computer geek, but my company pays me to be an accountant.:-P On many occasions I've had to protect sheets/cells from users who inadvertently delete formulas. We've also gone as far as color-coding the cells that ARE allowed to be written in by the end-users. Editing formulas seems to be far less of a problem than the "oops-deletion" in this case, anyway.
I used to be in IT (boy do I miss it) and now I'm in accounting (you know, what I actually studied in college haha). Anyway, I had to report some strange goings-on to the IT dept here at my company and they blamed it on my external hard drive... now I know that my harddrive (which uses basic windows drivers) isn't crashing Adobe, but THEY think it is... (the problem is actually TrackIT) my point is, my harddrive is against company policy. Nice of them to tell me over 6 months after I started here instead of the first time they noticed the device (about 5 months earlier). I just want to listen to my music while I work, and since the CD-ROM drive = crap I can't do it that way lol. *sigh* Information theft/loss is going to happen with or without USB devices, so maybe proper security would be something companies should invest time/money into? Just a thought:-P
