Good luck sir. Come to think of it, there's a couple of stereotypical junior IT bods (very young, gamers, smart arses, windows "power" users, broadly incompetent) at a gig in Exeter who run all the windows desktops and the Sharepoint server that I'd love get shipped to you for the entire event. Please feel free to thoroughly indoctrinate the little wretches in the errors of their ways. They run cover on Saturdays anyway, not that they actually do anything other than play Facebook games according to the logs, so I'm sure I the boss and I could 'spare' them and tell them it's training. They could walk there from St David's station couldn't they? I'm still not coming though!
