[offtopic] Using School Supplied laptops at home

[Meadows, Roslyn M]

Hi Jim, this software from http://www.lightspeedsystems.com/ ("Total
Traffic Control 7") should really be called "Total People Control 7"
because in reality that is what it is.

Now you can attack me!!!! I don't mind at all!! 

Cheers
Ros

In others, all you can do is turn the other cheek.
