Top ranting.

Congratulations Tony.

We don't supply headphones and instead state that students should have them as part of the required kit. Those we had previously continuosly got wrecked and there were obvious health and safety issues.

Love some of the comments below the article.

I saw in the garden with the laptop and, in between a bit of F1 and a few Tesco Ultimate burgers, built up quite an empire with Germany on HOI3.

Do you think students and staff alike will be able to cope with the excitement of watching some nobody carrying a designer firelight? You don't want a riot on your hands.

I often get the impulse to blast out a bit of Alter Bridge to drown out the noise in the corridor. "Err, just testing some speakers."

Good luck with this one.

Resetting an AIT tape drive with a paperclip. "Stand back, it's about to get technical."

There's a Microsoft tech article which talks you through shutting this bandit down. Helped me when I was hit with this within weeks of starting in this job. Restrict access to svchost across the site, and run MSRT at startup on all clients for a while. Check Scheduled Tasks on all servers. I eventually traced our outbreak back to a couple of vanilla machines in our canteen. There is also a patch which was pre-SP3 I think.

Exactly my reasoning.

I've started buying them as replacements for knackered laptop HDs for staff laptops, and really want to stick them in a suite of Dell Optiplex's we have, alongside a RAM upgrade, to get a couple more years out of them.

They've got no-one to teach it.

I keep them afloat by buying every WW2-related book they stock.

Are quotas enabled on the drive itself?
