Colouredy Pencil Office
Well, to be fair to the arty dudes (and, in my experience, they are always dudes) in the Colouredy Pencil office, they are using Macs.
These may have played nicely with non-Mac servers but not all sysadmins are well versed in the, em, peculiarities of getting them to play nicely with the rest of the network. Trevor Potts wrote about this many years' ago. So, often the macs and their attendant hardware are left separated.
Added to that, it is not uncommon that they want/need expensive hardware (I've seen very pricey scanners from Scitex, for example, in my time), so I feel their pain.
