Real-life tales of IT experiences

Readers share their IT ups and downs in InfoWorld's Off the Record blog

"Got amazing or amusing IT tales, lessons learned the hard way, war stories from the trenches, or an instance when something went very right?"

These are the questions we ask to get InfoWorld readers thinking about their personal adventures in IT. We then publish those stories in our Off the Record blog, keeping the writer anonymous. In the Comments section, readers react to the "been there, done that" aspect of the stories, and often weigh in with further insights.
