I use AppServ for my basic AMP setup on my machines.

I've been told I have no chance of a payrise as I don't have line-management responsibility, and I never will. So it doesnt matter about my Cisco certification or Honors Degree.

have you considered using Thunderbird or Outlook 2003? *runs* BIG whoops, but you wont be easily able to find them as new files with the same name are now in the same place, but there should be some residuals somewhere. Best bet? Lie through teeth and blame the shite system, if the profile was corrupt, then so was Outlook's datafiles, nothing you could do. In future he should consider using a less shite system.

you really have a s**te setup overall there don't you? You have my sympathies

flash git

Have you considered doing what we've done and gone completely independant from the county for the curriculum side? As they sound like a shambles and a half and I would probably walk out of that place after a few weeks if I had no control.

Only way i can currently think of would be to edit the msgina.dll and just delete the box. is there an orangina.dll? Why do you want to disable this option? are they being thick and not understanding why things aren't working or are they connecting to a phone like for some strange unfathomable reason?

I have a 300MHz P2 Dell with 64mb of RAM running a very cut down version of XP. Runs faster than my 1GHz Mini-ITX based laptop and its brilliant for programming switches as the COM port just works, unlike a lot of newer ones which either dont have them or refuse for work correctly.

Cheeky mares, they're rebranded Targa OfficeStations http://www.targahk.com/OfficeStation/index.asp Is this basically just a small Terminal Service/thinclient machine?

yes. and then you tell them that it is a security thing and they should not be using the school computers for private affaires

/me throws chestnuts at bossman.

HA! I was just about to ask about these. Did you get the flyer from Getech too? Any idea of cost? Dos_box> except then you require X number of full fat clients anyway, these in theory would reduce deskspace, noise and power consumption. However I'd be interested to see more details on it as I've never seen it offered as part of SuSE. What do they call it?
