3026.1	Powerw tat be	SALEM::LEIMBERGER		`Wed Oct 18 1989 13:18`	5
	The only paperwork I needed for my DF03: was a property removal pass.As for what is available ,and what do you need for justification It has been my experiance that this is determined by the powers that be. (ie: your manager) bill
3026.2	Yes you can...	PUERTO::ALVAREZ	So much work to do...so little time	`Wed Oct 18 1989 14:45`	8
	I suspect that each location will have different rules, but here you can loan almost anything, it requires a property removal pass signed by the cost center manager who owns the equipment. You have up to six months, and then have to renew (fill another property pass & signatures, no need to bring the equipment back) if you want to keep it for a longer time. Miguel A.
3026.3		DICKNS::MACDONALD	WA1OMM 7.093/145.05/223.58 AX.25	`Wed Oct 18 1989 16:11`	3
	Since loaned equipment is approved by the cost center manager and comes out of the cost center's budget, choices may be limited!
3026.4		NAC::BRANNON	value added	`Wed Oct 18 1989 16:48`	8
	Plus the cost center manager usually wants a justification of why you need a loan of that particular equiment. Try justifying why you need a loan of a LJ250 color printer without saying the word "Amiga"... 8^). regards, dennis
3026.5		DRIVEN::SANFORD		`Wed Oct 18 1989 22:42`	21
	Being a cost center manager, I allow any engineer the use of a VT series terminal and modem at home. If you occasionally do work releated stuff from home I allow a 2400 baud modem. The only other equipment allowed home is surplus or obsolete (unuseable) equipment, RD52's, LA50's, etc. All equipment must be signed out on a property removal pass and returned or renewed every 6 months. For equipment that breaks, it must be returned to Digital to be repaired. If it is obsolete we do not repair it and sometimes it is cheaper to replace equipment than have it repaired. by field service. In any case we do not buy equipment for non-work related use. I would love to have a LJ250 at home, but can't justify brining the only LJ250 in the office at home. I would be willing to honor next day delivery for requests queued to my home system... Maybe someday LJ250's will be like LA50's. -drew

	I work with a VT102 on my desk and a PC100+ at home. I have a modem promised as well. I'ld just like a printer, even an LA50 will do. I'm going to stand here and stamp my feet till I get one, so there! Dave.
