    I hate having to take two bags onto the plane with me, but there is no way I'm putting a suitcase through Heathrow in the morning - I want to be out of there at some stage during the day!!

      Since they are getting me back to sort out urgent issues, me TPDing all day might take the p1ss too much!! Plus the PCs there are on a really, really old version of IE that is locked down a lot, and I NEED tabbed browsing.
      I know what you mean - HC had to suffer the indignity of a standard ClientCo build PC towards the end of last week, with IE6
      Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

        I'd better head off and help get the kids to bed.

        All the best for next week FaQ

          I don't think that they are even that up to date... Might be something like that version though.

          It's MASSIVELY locked down, though - no JS, no plugins, no Flash (which was good when Oracle re-wrote their support system so that it uses Flash extensively, and we couldn't even log in!).

          Might be able to get away with some laptop use under the pretence of looking at Oracle sites though

                Hmmm - only 150 posts to go to the millenium.

                All poised for NF to grab it in about 3 hours.

                  Indeed it is.

                  However, clientco has no USB access, and no way to download it.

                    I used Portable Firefox when I had a clientco laptop on the last project - kept their machine nice and clean, and had a decent browser I could work with.
