Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
My happy thought is paying £7000 less for a 49 day old car rather than buying new!

I never have either, it should still smell new when you get it to.

I'm starting at 8am tomorrow as they want to teach me to do the tape back-ups, as a back-up to the person who should do it isn't 100% reliable.

Now that sounds like a promising situation.

Best of luck - hope it all works out for you!
Not givng the job to someone who's 1005 does seem like ageism though...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Good luck Homer.
My happy thought? Work related, I'm afraid.
We've been using a program to deploy OSX called DeployStudio (which is a brilliant system if you have multiple Macs to install) for a couple of years. Because we already had another system for deploying Windows on the Macs, I never bothered investigating how it handles Windows installs.
This year development ceased on the system we were using. While it actually still works for Windows 7 (in my experience, anyway), I have up to 90 macs to deploy with this system (71 student machines which will be deployed using this system, and 19 staff machines which may or may not be deployed using this system).
The system had it's first major test today, which I was rather nervous about. It worked well on every one of the 30 machines I tried it on. Well, apart from a couple that wouldn't pick up IPs (which should be sorted by tomorrow).
And to think they wanted to throw out the elderly PowerMac G5 it's running on..
The downside is that it has a couple of bugs, for which I have had to find workarounds, but were fixed in the version released yesterday (unfortunately too late for me to consider upgrading the system before the start of term now).
