Our >network sucks and I save everything on my local computer >because it's more reliable than our network Last year when I arrived we were at about a 6, they were rebooting the servers twice a day (no, I am not joking). Now we're at about a 2.5, the stuff I've set up is a 2, but there is still a bunch of junk left over from the last guy that I've only been able to get up to a 3 since I haven't had time to rebuild it yet. The goal is to be about a 1.5 by next year, as a 1 is basically impossible with any sort of reasonable budget.
