    Or, if she's a munter, NOT shagged the boss's daughter.

    Whitebait´s so much more effective. It´s small, so easy to conceal in such obscure orifices as the ventilation slits in the back of a monitor or PC, stuffed into an unused network socket or under the cushion of an office chair.

    Hard luck GJ.

    Many years ago IBM was a good company however, since they started purchasing service companies (in order to gain their service contracts) they have gone down hill. Staff from those companies are not well trained and basically a bunch of muppets who havn't a clue.
