Chances are you'd get an inflated estimate. I had one ward tell me they were due for replacement and I told them they weren't - if they didn't believe me to check the manufacture date on the back of the monitor. (We got our GX270 and monitors in the same batch.)lajackson wrote:you could ask one of the clerks who has been around a while for an estimate
It turns out they were remembering when they got the prior computer.
Your mileage may vary, but I find the wards have very selective memories. Like the ward that some how keeps remembering that I "stole" (with the stake president's permission) a replacement computer (a "cascaded" one from CHQ) and swapped it with one in the FHC. Well, if they really want their P90 back, I think I can arrange that. :rolleyes:
(Way back then, it was MIS/FIS. Wards didn't need a Windows-capable machine, but the FHC was in desperate need of Internet-capable computers. Of course now, I think moving machines between the wards and FHCs would be frowned upon.)
But the point being is that I find wards tend to remember only things that are to their advantage to remember.
