Found over at another blog, this is delightfully evil.
That addressed, it's been a rather quiet day. Now to dive into one of the little side projects, building a church newsletter for an organization down in Palm Springs, and then back to finishing preliminary PC build-out.
Why, you ask, am I building the PC at home rather than installing the software at the client site?
Long term planning. I've found that if I simply waltz in, plug in the new PC, grab the data files off the old one, and am miraculously out in under an hour...it helps build techy mystique for those rare moments when I'm faced with the choice of a long painful technical explanation to the technophobic vs. simply saying "the magic smoke inside needed a refill". If sufficient mystique is built up, you can get away with "magic smoke" and it will save a fair amount of time and misery for all concerned...
Still, one can fire fictional kittens across a hazard strewn field, horrifying the Animal Rights sorts who are typically unable to sort fact from fiction, or logic from emotion.
