Maybe this counts, but it is my current front-burner.
I work in a research lab in a university, and if it works, we keep it until it doesn't. We had an instrument, and we had a spec'd out workstation for that, which was impressive for 2004 standards. But we stopped using the instrument.
We started to have need for a labelmaker, so we installed it on that.
So we have an XP machine with hardware RAID set up to print labels.
And when we lost power on Saturday, that machine lost the ability to boot.
I have a machine that will boot, but it has no CD so I cannot (reinstall and) install the labelmaker software.
And if this sounds less Dev and more Admin or Helpdesk, welcome to my stand of many many hats.
