By the look of the first of Scott's blog posts
(http://ltspthinclient.blogspot.com/2007/10/local-apps_31.html) I think
they all had a good time on Cider and Ale already. Say cheese!

Still, I think once its in Hardy ALL you guys, especially Ogra, Jim,
Scott and Vagrant to name but a few would find that at nearly all our
teachers would give you all a big hug for making there lives easier. I
even think you'd get one from our headteacher... and he's Scottish
(Nothing against the Scots, it just every Scot I've ever met has been
mostly friendly but not the hugging type.)

Oh and you'd have 800+ kids happy too, as everything would work much
quicker once we can offload "some" of the burden to the thin clients.

Gutsy rocks... Hardy.. Oh my, I really can't wait! :)
