In that case, see if you can get down to Manchester on the (I think) 14th of
April, or grab my notes off the Web when I put them up.  The presentation
will be geared towards the home user, obviously, but it will be equally
valid for the small networked office.

Surprise surprise.  The best way to do that is to work out downtime rates
and multiply that by the cost of having someone there whenever it is down -
the cost soon goes through the roof.

The difference is that you're allowed to wkr here - I'm not.  I get deported
if I try to get employed.

Not a bad idea if you haven't grown up with it.  Samba's one of those
things that are just best with documentation - and the stuff that comes with
it isn't the cleverest.
