I only took the things that weren't nailed down.  Honest guv. ;-)

The training course was a good thing TBH, I'd been learning from the PHP
manual and Google, but actually having some formal training made a great
deal of difference.  I've been enjoying watching Linux grow over the years,
it's great that it's now at the point that I can put it on a second hand
laptop with minimum fuss for my Dad to use, and he gets on with it fine.
