That was my first job, you can learn a lot of things from it but
you better find out what kind of computer equipments your employer
is using first beforehand.
I got a nasty suprise when I joined my previous employer because
the office is using very old computers like Pentium processor
running Windows 95 OS.... and their accounting database server is
running on a Penitum II processor with Windows NT... and that was
in the Year 2005. There was hell lot of problems/complaints when I
first started but I managed to get things running more smoothly
after purchasing and upgrading with new computer + networking
hardware and software like Windows XP... I have seen CRT monitors
and Power Supply Units going up in smoke, PS/2 mouse that has
intermitent connections, HDD that has only 2 GB storage space,
printer that always get paper jam etc... and when user's computer
HDD crashed, they may demand you to retreive their locally stored
emails which is beyond anyone capabilities without the proper
equipment, spare parts and clean room envrionment. I also
discovered computers with few hundreds of malware infections....
sign...the list can go on. I am gald all those problems is history
for me now.
