Well, here is is, quarter after 9:00, on Friday...

And, I get told that we have two "temps" coming in next week...one starting on Monday, one on Tuesday.

These two temps don't need laptops, but need to be able to do what two of our current users are doing...so, now i have to make one machine back up, and I can't figure out how to do that, and format the machine, and get all the software loaded that one of our users uses...and then do the same on Monday. Or, maybe back up the machine I'll use on Sunday, or start it..either or.

7 hours for an install...damnit.

Can't you just ghost the machines and place that on the new ones?

Not really...and it's got something to do with the programs we install, the way we install, and that out of the Gateways, there are several "minor" differences, that make ghosting the machine do flaky things to it..at least, that's how it was explained to me ages ago.

Fortunately, putting 2000 on the machines seems to go faster, and make it better...I'm not willing to put XP on the gateways...not unless I can up the memory a bit. :-)
