    I thought we were volunteers! However, would you split the contract with those across the pond?

    You are very unimaginative!

    Sales pitch: For 150 quid a week, you get the support of the BEST software, hardware, Security, and support technicians on the net.

    The trouble with these schools is that they aren't allowed to do anything themselves. At my kids primary school they had the blaster virus, I said I would get rid of it for free but they said no one is allowed to touch the pc's. They had to wait for 2 weeks for someone from the education authority to sort it out.

    When I was at school the computers were just as shocking, in fact worse than that. I'm guessing the pay is not so good for a school IT Tech which is why most of them know very little other than the basics. That's why I wanted to aim D-A-L more at schools using it as a helpful resource to speak to people who know what they're talking about but as Jaynee said it's all covered up so nobody can get there hands on it.

    On the old forum we had a section for Techs to sign up then people can look in there area for a technician to do work for them. That was always a good feature that never actually got off the ground but it would be a great service for people who need a tech quickly to help them. Of course you would need some kind of standard, like a test which people would have to pass but that could be done.

    Binary, I can understand, Boolean I can understand...Reverse Polish anything I still have problems. How in god's green earth do Programers make it! I took 4 years of programing classes and still cant even create a dice rolling program! Sorting out the processor and circuits are easier for me.
