One good thing about being an Independent school with laptops is that
you end up with an army of computer techs do the server stuff.

Does anybody know what the correct collective noun is for computer
techs?

Hi Mark,

Yeah I prob missed his humour, but I think your third statement is the
closest!!!

Best of luck with not being distracted, I am trying to do a server
migration!

I think Jackson was trying to jocular.

Or are you trying to be funny as well?

And does anybody care?

It's Saturday and I'm at work trying to get next year's bloody timetable
working. (and getting easily distracted)

:-(

Hi Jaskson,

I hate to correct you, but that is a biometric swipe, NOT a keyboard
swipe.

At Mt Baw Baw we use keyboard swipe (magnetic Cards) for login into our
Point of Sale system. Each user is issued with a magnetic card, this is
encoded with the users ID. With this we can authenticate their staff
billing account, login to the system as a user, and validate their
discounts.

The card itself looks like a credit card.

Cheers
Warrick

I have seen a pupil using a keyboard swipe to access password protected
sites, software and files.

He literally 'swipes' his finger across the home row keys on a qwerty
keyboard.

His password is: ASDFGHJKL;'[enter]

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is a keyboard swipe.

(The kid is not in my IT class, so I take no personal responsibility for
his stoopid password...I did have a chat with him when I saw him do it,
though)

Jackson Bates
