I've been trying to swap out a dead computer that operates a scale but the scale software is a pain in the ass. What have you guys been up to?

A city truck hit a powerline near us on Wednesday that caused a power blip. That was enough to kill off a couple of old computers. So that consumed the first half of my Thursday. I'm hoping I can leverage this to finally get approval to refresh our old inventory, which is most of our inventory.

I also have to work with a 3rd party dev company that's less than worthless. For a group of people who's jobs require solid analytical thinking, it's amazing that they're able to function in life without having a handler for day to day tasks, like getting dressed. They're incapable of completing a task without explicit instructions, and seem to think that my IT services extend to them.

The joys of being the sole IT person at a small/medium size business. I need a bigger head for all of the hats I have to wear.
