Ahhhh such dedication

to be able to come up with an accidental boss replacement tool and yet no trace of how the foul deed was done

We are learning so much here it defys belief.

Now if only he could teach us the best way to protect our keyboards....

although on the subject of teaching, our work experience guy left today, an older and wiser man, for although he never wants to have anything to do with the likes of us robot wranglers again, he has learned that in any future employment to seek out the oldest grumpiest employee and offer him coffee in the morning, then sit at his feet and learn the wisdom from him. And especially run any new idea past his eye and wait for the possible reactions:-

1. laughter : forget about your idea and go get more coffee

2. 'The look' : run away if you want to live and return after 30 mins with more coffee

3. The raised eyebrow : your idea has some merit , fetch more coffee, notepads, pens, drawing equipment, laptop, CAD station, another coffee, a full cost analysis of your proposal and how best to sell it to the manglement.
