Summary
 ======================================================================== THERE ARE ONLY TWO BOOKS IN THE IT DEPT BATHROOM AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS: THIS IS BOTH OF THEM. ======================================================================== Pick a page at random. Forecast your network's corporate future! Previously lost, now regrettably recovered, The TORPOMETRONOMICON collects ten years of technical malpractice, corporate psychosis, and weaponized technobabble from AcmeVaporware, the arch-mega-corporation dedicated to bringing you "Yesterday's Technology Tomorrow." Contained herein are the company's press releases, supersecret communiqués, Powerpointless presentation notes, impossible product manuals, Layer 1 colonic errata, and enough psychotronic phlogiston to bring an entire server farm to its knees. Unlike ordinary corporate communications, these documents can actually be read all the way through. OUT LOUD. Preferably during a mandatory meeting. Part technical manual, part corporate autopsy, The TORPOMETRONOMICON is essential for anyone who's ever worked in IT, suffered through a SOURPoint presentation, or been forced to pretend that management knows what it's doing. A techno-cult classic from the grey-minded cubicle age, it is suitable for Help Desks from Alphaville to Zebulon. When in doubt, pull out the manual.©1999 Gary Clemenceau (P)2025 Gary Clemenceau Humorous Literature & Fiction Satire Science Fiction Witty
