You have got to be kidding me, a single `day of training' to bring him up-to-speed on server maintenance, either him or both of you must be in the genius class. From what I've seen, there isn't any practical difference between server admin and networking, as the IT techies are required to fix it, whatever the problem.

I recall reading somewhere that the originator of email was looking at his VAX/VMS terminal and spotted the @ sign and arbitrarily decided to use that symbol for msg redirection.

Good idea
"you can 't cover everything in a one day training session. I'd make that two half days with a month or so in between".
Did you leave a smiley off that statement?

"As long as our politicians refuse to tackle the fundamental problem - that of tiny crimes in massive quantities - we're stuck"
I don't agree, just build `computers' that can't be compromised by clicking on an URL or opening an email attachment.
"researchers have discovered another way methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria are developing resistance to antibiotics"
It stands to reason that if you kill off roughly 90% of the bacteria, the remaining sample will have increased resistance to the antibiotic.
I thought nothing travels faster than light? Faster then Light
"takedowns of such a network will be extremely difficult because there is no one central source to attack."
I thank you, my memory isn't what it used to be :(
