Ruh Oh!
Sherry Wilson Youngquist of the Winston-Salem Journal reveals Ex-Stokes manager had computer full of porn:
The former county manager for Stokes County, Craig Greer, had downloaded so much Internet pornography that his computer hard drive at the government center was running out of space, county officials say.

The cache of more than 27,000 photos - with such titles as 'Bye bye bikinis,' 'Housewife,' and 'Midget peep show' - was discovered by information-technology workers after Greer resigned April 28.

County commissioners said yesterday that the discovery was behind their decision last week to reverse themselves and fire Greer instead of accepting his resignation.

'This is abnormal,' Commissioner Joe Turpin said. 'People are not happy seeing their tax dollars pay an employee who was not working but spending his time doing this.... He had a massive amount of categorized information on there. It had been categorized, alphabetized. It was all archived.'

Greer began using the computer in early 2000. The downloads, which occurred during business hours, continued to take place throughout this year, county records show.

County officials said that there was so much material that Greer must have spent at least 60 percent of his work hours downloading photos.
Nothing like job satisfaction! By the way, his salary was $74,000 per year.

Actually, doing the numbers, he had the computer for 3 years which is about 750 working days. 27,000/750 = 36 pictures a day. I guess it depends on how long he spent "enjoying" each picture.
