[Dermot]

BT coming out tomorrow to do survey in preparation for broadband upgrade.

I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't supported, the numpties behind the C2K implementation account are the ones that told me the Optiplex 745 machines could be upgraded and added as full workstations.

Hi Bill

What exactly is the craic with Dell 745's.  What way can they get built? I've looked at ours and from memory they are 2.8GHz machines. I seem to get different opinions from different sources. I don't think the 755 spec is much higher. The Techy guy say we know more than them.

The 745s can't go on as full machines, I was misinformed by C2K implementation.  We had someone from Northgate out who told us the right way of things.  Apparently Northgate are working on some sort of financing for C2K workstations, rather than paying for new machines up front the cost can be spread over several years.

Wonder what sort of interest they would add on to that, probably in line with Wonga.com and charge around 1800% APR or the soul of your first born child!

I did not know that two curly wurlys cost ?300 million 
 
If you read the waffle I think the misquote below is spot on 
 
"Never before in the field of human history was so much said to mean so little"

To be honest BHB my wife was looking after the twins last night some I had some time on my hands and was actually looking to see if this site came up when searching for 'C2k help', it doesn't lol. During the search I also came across a freedom of information request looking to know how much C2k had paid for the use of SIMS.

[bahhumbug]

How were you searching?  I've just searched for c2k help with google.
see attached for results

Hi Folks..

My boss has just asked me what print management software is being used in the new system. Can anyone confirm whether it is 'PaperCut' or something else.

I know that this is not much help but at this point in time I doubt that even Northgate know
