I suffer badly with it too. If I work in an air-conditioned office my nose bleeds from one nostril. I really recommend the Neilmed range on Amazon. It's works brilliantly. This starter pack is well worth the money.

Used by plenty of schools in Torbay and AFAIK those that used them were very happy with the service provided.

Something to possibly be aware of is that Avast blocked this from installing for me. I've submitted the file to Avast for their labs to check it out.

That's very good indeed! To put it into context I have around 10K games and 780 WN8 (though I didn't start really improving until around 3K games when I joined my clan).

I went from a school (5 years there) to the private sector (head of IT for a small manufacturing firm). What prompted me to jump was a new Head coming in who didn't value support staff at all (but saw no problem increasing SLT from 6 to 13). I'm very happy where I am now, and it's nice to feel appreciated again. In contrast I wasn't replaced and an overstretched team of 3 is now a massively overstretched team of 2.

Loads of negatives on The Register about this today. I've removed my account and will use Keepass from now on.

I use a Jacarta Interseptor. It can measure a wide variety of things using various plugins, but I measure temperature, humidity, voltage and whether or not water is present. For a real belt and braces approach I interrogate it via SNMP with PRTG (I can then set very detailed alarm conditions). It works excellently and I'm very pleased with it. An added bonus is it's made in the UK.

I was considering purchasing NOD32 for all my workstations but I'm going to give Avast a go and see how we get on. Many thanks to all of you for your feedback whilst you've been trying it.

PRTG here as well with the free 100 sensors. It's brilliant. When we're virtualised shortly (don't ask) I'll run VEEAM One again too.

They are, erm, yes. I don't even know if I'd use one if I got given it for free!

Ex Machina. Very good indeed.

I've sat there so long I've made my legs numb and had a mark on my legs before! Lately (whilst at home) it's taken so long because I've been playing Kingdom Rush. A stage can easily take 20 mins.

I used to do disk-disk-tape and followed the 'traditional' Grandfather-Father-Son backup methodology. Incremental backups Monday-Thursday with a full backup starting on Friday night. It seemed to work OK. Never had a problem restoring anything (though not as easy as reverse incremental obviously).

That is really, really useful. Many thanks for that. - - - Updated - - - No, I haven't looked at Synology yet. I may well do though!

The SAN they have quoted us for is a Dell Equalogic PS4100 containing 12TB of Nearline SAS disks configured as RAID 10. It's about £7.5K.
