My boss has come up with a good use for all my old toys!
We're an ISP here, and I play BOFH. So, we're moving to a new building,
and all the customers are wanting to see our internet toys when they
sign up. So, the new machine room is being constructed as follows:
1. It'a a large room, raised flooring, and it has an observation
    window. The idiots can look thru the window, but not come in
    the door.
2. The room is also decently air-conditioned. It'll (obviously!)
    have fast 'net access.

Meaning:

3. We aim to get our hands on all the boxes we can with flashing lights
    or interesting buttons on the panels. These will be visible from
    the window. All the real gear will be on the other side of the room.

Basically, this means all my boxen get a fast 'net wire, and a nice
room to live in. All they need to be able to do is look complicated and/or
impressive. Is this sort of thing legal? Sounds too good to be true to me...
