Ahh, the age-old trick of adding new life to an 
old job description with "collateral duties".

When your HP3000 retires, I imagine someone will
finally get around to changing the job-title?

Of course we no longer deliver printouts, we have
a policy that user's get their own.*  I'm constantly 
amazed by what "doesn't" get picked up.

* Get Your Own Printouts (GYOP).
