First rule of tech support

1st Rule of Tech Support
Is it plugged in?

2nd Rule of Tech Support
Is it turned on?

3rd Rule of Tech Support
Have you rebooted?

Those rules seriously cover 90% of all tech support problems.
The broken floppy from yesterday was indeed related to the first rule of tech support - is it plugged in? As suspected, it wasn't, and plugging it back in fixed it.

80% of the way through repatching the network. Good thing it's a lot quicker this time.

Spent this afternoon feeling totally whacked - I'm coming down with a cold or flu or something. About to go to bed actually. Must not chuck, must not chuck ..
