Heh, i bought a surplus monitor from work after they upgraded to g50 monitors
and pc330 systems. i got an 8515 with the same sticker on it! i was thinking
about removing it, but i think i might keep it now!
i think it was really a documented effort to make sure people werent doing non
work environment things on their workstations in accordance with business
conduct guidelines. (no games, no www.xxx.com, etc)

<< I saw this label on an IBM monitor in a thrift shop the other day and I
 thought some of you guys might get a kick out of it. It read:
 
 USE OF THIS DEVICE IS RESTRICTED TO IBM
   MANAGEMENT APPROVED PURPOSES ONLY
 
 and they even had a policy number for this mandate: Z229-0444-00
 
 Beauracracy at it's finest. >>
