Your own IT Droid

Now that Italian engineers have created their own 'real R2-D2", we pose the question to you -- How would you use a real droid in your IT department?

Here's a few ideas to get you started:

• Projects a hologram of your boss saying, "Luke, you must install the new blade servers today--you're our only hope"

• Translates convoluted end-user problem calls into technically accurate trouble tickets

• Laser-blasts unwanted consultants and vendor salespeople out of the data center

• Delivers critical sodas and snacks during grueling late-night gaming sessions

We'll post the funniest online.

And may the force be with you!
