[dba-Tech] Petulant PC

John,

I'm going to go with my sysadmin's advice and get a copy of Casper XP.
 The sysadmin here is a certifiable genius geek with no social
life...so I KNOW he's got a lot on the ball!  When we talk about the
software I'm writing it's difficult to keep up with him.

Good luck with TrueImage.  I'd never heard of it until you mentioned
it here...but that's not saying much.  I gave up trying to keep up.
