Mr. Delight brings up an excellent point. Thank you sir. Here is another fun one along the same lines for all you worker bees out there. Delete one of your own documents off the network. Wait two or more days and ask for it back. See what happens. Can the IT staff (or person) get it back? How long did it take? Was the date on the file the same as the one you deleted? Note: You should probably use a file you don't need for this experiment.

For you overachievers, create a file at 10:00am, save over it with another file at 10:30am and see if your IT department can get back the original.
