        We had an IT and Security audit last week. Guess what the auditor was sporting... A Lenovo laptop!

              I had to laugh about it. Last year I got dinged for not blocking github and the similar sites. This time they tell me I can go on github and get a piece of software that will compare my firewall config and detect any changes. The logic makes ZERO sense.

                  WHAT logic? No auditor I've ever met knows jack s*** about tech. As your experience is proving. They've got a check list and that's all they care about.
