IT administrator pilot fish handles all technology for this midsize public library. A frequent part of his job: repurposing old equipment for less critical or demanding needs.
"I chose an old desktop PC to re-image and put out on the library floor for public use," says fish. "Imaging and setup went smoothly, and I took the repurposed computer out into the library to deploy.
"To fit the PC tower under the desk where it would live, I had to twist it in an awkward orientation up in the air. Upon doing so, there was a distinct metallic sound of multiple pieces falling and clanking together, as if the components inside the case were disintegrating."
