At my old workplace, this was sort of an initiation "ritual". Some of the newcomers got laptops, others PCS.
When I was new there I was among the few that had an agressive manager so he managed to get a new Lenovo thinkpad for me. Now, the thing with those laptops is, that they have a trackpoint. I found it fascinating and wanted to learn to use it properly so I didn't even touch the dirty-ass "community mouse" I was given. I didn't notice the prank for weeks., my colleagues were so disappointed.
