  1. I've had about 60 of them and I've had one *recent* failure. I'm not bent out of shape about it considering the hammering they get. Also bonus - they have w7 driverpack available and if you go win10 it finds all the drivers without a driver pack.
  2. I was contemplating this the other day... One place I worked we had a guy who was possibly the most Scottish bloke I'd ever met, he was site staff - I couldn't understand 4/5ths of what he said and the 1/5 I could understand was f**k, he used it like a comma. He wore a kilt pretty much all year round, so when it got hot there was absolutely no question about it being acceptable, people just did it, at one point there was about 10 other kilts in the staffroom. It was glorious!
  3. Power management? Can you try unticking the 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' in the properties of the card? Check the power plan too. Just something else to try although it does just sound like the card is borked.
  4. My Wife has a Makro card through her Brownie unit, and other than stuff for the Brownies we only really buy Toilet roll, centrefeed rolls for the kitchen and the garage and 5l bottles of washing up liquid. We sometimes buy meat in there if we have a big family dinner coming up.
  5. are you using a device specific driver, the uniflow driver or the generic driver? We've just moved to the package aware driver generic plus from the generic non PA and everything as got weird. We are direct with canon and they are saying it's an issue with package aware drivers and to sit tight until they release a new driver. I'm wondering whether it's a uniflow issue. have you tried creating a test queue and seeing if the problem follows you?
  6. Then you are the minority that requires to leave smb 1 enabled and ensure your servers are patched... Am I over simplifying this?
  7. Not that cheap, however more than capable on all other counts... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-B2710-Solid-Immerse-Mobile/dp/B0042ORU08
  8. I take it in turns to spend the night with my grumpy, insomniac 2 year old. Every other day I don't just get out of the wrong side of the bed, I get out of the wrong bed entirely.
  9. Look at the people posting, they are all low rep/low post count/unusual countries, I would not be surprised to find their names popping up next to spam threads.
  10. I've made this a behaviour issue and as we only have 2 models of laptop across the whole school now - staff included - literally everyone knows how to turn the wifi on because there are emails and posters about it.
  11. Speak to @GrumbleDook, he can give you some manglement speak to make it sound like a knees up at the pub is actually a CPD event...
  12. I'm in... Half term? Monday Wednesday or Thursday is good for me.
  13. Bingo... I've also got the original green seethru iMac it went with!
  14. I use the Hitachi CP-AW3005 currently. They're replacing a selection of projectors from Smart, Epson and BenQ
  15. Ideally, he can get over himself and just use what he's given, but as a path of least resistance I might consider puting it on the BYOD, installing RDP and telling him to use a remote dektop.
  16. Much warmer, but it's a very specific thing...
  17. Colder...
  18. Kinda... but not really.
  19. I've been tidying the shared storage area with the site manager and I've come across this...
  20. So a Palm Pilot...
  21. I had one briefly and traded it up for an LG Phenom and windows CE.
  22. Psion organiser of some description?
  23. If you are, do any of them look like this: Because I want them! We've got a shedload of them and the power buttons are failing. I could, re case them, but they're in an IT suite and I don't want them to start looking different.

    Bow Tie?

    I don't wear a tie, much too dangly and impractical, and my bow tie is reserved for black tie/evening dress events, however... I do occasionally wear a cravat, I have several, a classic burgundy paisley, a blue micro paisley and an orange silk one, I find they work quite well.
  25. What user are you setting as owner/full access?
