What does this mean?
Polly is not referring to a problem with the stationery (pens, pencils, paper, etc.). Polly has actually written this letter by hand, so it's obvious that there are still some pencils, paper, pens, etc.
This is incorrect. "Network capacity" refers to the total bandwidth (data transfer), not the technicians who work on the network.
Although "current" can sometimes refer to an "electrical current", this definition does not make sense in the context of this sentence. Polly is referring to the lack of working computers at the office.
Because of the problems with the computer network, Polly is saying that there has been very little work done on computers. The expression "next to nothing" refers to a minimal amount or quantity.
