I'm part of a pilot program at my job testing out a new laptop that we're supposed to use "in the field," which means to make presentations at meetings. The problem is, nobody wants a "presentation" on a screen in the types of meetings I go on. There's usually only 2 -3 people involved and an old school paper deck works perfectly. I also have a company issued iPad, that could be extremely useful with digital contracts and to access internal data etc, but our legal department thinks the Ipad is too compromised to handle such things. -Not sure why.

It's amazing how large organizations can be aloof regarding the right computing products for their employees. -We still cary blackberry's for crying out loud.
