Yeah, and on the way home Otis's tail didn't stop wagging!

Subject: [Malvern] GMH tonight


The subject of help for opening software boxes came up at the GMH 
tonight. Here is the first Help Desk comic on the subject.

Trust me, if you've not done so already, set aside time to read all the 
comics.


The recent 'fun' with ooxml came up and not everyone had seen this

which is where I saw the link to the original story here:

Number 2, the entered values vs stored values point is scary.


Otis also wagged his tail a lot and Discworld was discussed at length.
