Re: Consultants who have to work on junk equipment

This is a little off the topic, but I think contractors and consultants
should supply their own tools as far as a laptop and the software needed to
connect to the clients host and or do the development.  You wouldn't hire a
contractor to come work on your house and have him ask you to borrow a
hammer?  Professional consultants should have a laptop and ask to connect to
the clients network.  I know that sometimes the client will not allow that
and may stick you with a dumb tube or an old PC, but at least you will have
your own tool (PC) to do any other tasks that must be performed.
Just my thoughts.
