This is old news: sorry — I’ve been busy. However, I observe it is now so old, that it has become news again!

So here goes … when one has to step out of the nice, cosy environment of your perfectly set up work machine, you’re going to need some help once in a while, because some of these problem machines are quite simply not going to have anything useful loaded onto them. Ever.
