10 Things Your IT Department Won't Tell You

Admit it: For many of us, our work computer is a home away from home.

It seems only fair, since our home computer is typically an office away from the office. So in between typing up reports and poring over spreadsheets, we use our office PCs to keep up with our lives.

2. How to use software that your credit union won't let you download
3. How to visit the Web sites your credit union blocks
4. How to clear your tracks on your work laptop
