[UCIMC-Tech] [Imc-bookkeeper] the Dell printer

[Austin McCann]

I'm not disagreeing with anything Chris is saying, but I am going to ask
that we try to be careful about the generalized term "Finance," as in "Brian
informed me that Finance replaced ... " which is a generalization
implicating *me *and Mike Lehman and Durl and whole bunch of other people
who didn't know anything about this. Let's be more specific about *who is
doing what *if we can.
