Thought everyone might enjoy knowing that Mayberry is alive and well at Tennessee Department of Transportation. Being in IT, most all issues come across my desk in one respect or another. About lunchtime, an incident was created for the network printer over by the wall about 20 ft. or so from my desk. Rather than issue it out to another technician, I decided to try and resolve the problem myself of no connectivity to the network. I rebooted the server, the printer, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer driver - nothing worked. Then I had an idea that it might be a bad network cable. So I said to the folks around me, "I wonder if we need bigger wires". They laughed and someone mumbled, "yeah right", so I went and got a new network cable. Now the new one was a little bit bigger in diameter than the old one...about the difference between 2 ga. and 4 ga. wire. I plugged it in and the printer began working. The look on their faces was priceless. So you see, there IS some credence to getting bigger wires. Just sayin'.
