(no subject)

Gah!  All the subject experts in the new system are off today (one left early, the other two are on vacation) so everybody is coming to me for support.  I don't know anything about the new system, and while it would be fun to coach them on the various uses of fdisk, I'm just being passively unhelpful.  My stock answer is,  "Shut down and restart your machine.  If that doesn't fix the problem then call the Help Desk."

Fortunately the restart fixes 90% of the problems.

Now I am going to sit here and count the minutes until I go home.
