  Notes from a conversation about various and sundry things between myself and
                                     Smirk
                                        
“We need to set up a server running Cacti [1] on SXXXXXX's network because
they're having major network problems. I put the Fluke [2] on their network

“SXXXXXX? Are you sure it wasn't NXXXXXXXXXX? They're the ones with the
networking problems [4].” 

“Nope, it was SXXXXXX.” 

“Wait! Let me guess … they run Windows?” 

“Full Windows shop. Flat network.” 

”Of course!”
