Well, I had to build the machines myself and put them in place
myself without help. I was amazed I got that far. I couldn't see a
single thing wrong with running as root at Blackwell's. Only one of
the machines was plugged into the internet and that wasn't important
either. None of the machines were networked. The way I see it if
the punters can see a machine being re-installed then so much the
better. That way they can see how it works :-)
