It is so interesting that you posted this, Ruth. Next week, we are going from 24 workstations down to 12 in our tech center. We were having a gradual decline in usage, that turned into a sharp decline during the pandemic. Usage numbers for everything else have rebounded, but not computers. I wonder if others are seeing the same trend.
