Can anyone enlighten me on how/what the DSR does to remove the £100
limit? This is new to me.

That seems to be talking about the £50 s84 limit, not the £100 s75
limit.

The reason why the £100 limit wouldn't apply is because someone is doing
a chargeback, rather than a claim under the Consumer Credit Act.

I did an install at a site where only DEAD stars were allowed. Joplin,

58 years ago my pet mouse was called Mister Churchill. One summers day
I left him in the greenhouse and he died of hyperthermia.

2 Days later mum was coming back from town and noticing our next door
neighbour on the bus went and sat with her.

"Oh, by the way", she said "Have you heard, Mister Churchill's dead".

A stunned silence went round the bus ...

I took my computer to a client site one day. I stayed late there, and didn't
have anybody to escort me past the security guard, who took exception to me
carrying a desktop out with me. I was very pleased when I said "This is my
machine, look, it's MrNoisy", pointed to the label, and he said "that'll be
fine then" or words to that effect - he reckoned anybody calling their
machine that was probably ok :-)

cheers,

Once upon a time I had a server called Tigger and a couple of other machines

When I hired someone to fulfil the team earth mother role it was *so*
difficult to stop myself calling her machine Kanga when I configured it the
day before she arrived.

Last lot I did were Kirk, Picard, Sisko and Archer.

Which left me with Pike, Janeway and (at a stretch) Cochran in reserve
for future expansion.

Though it would be possible to make a very strong argument that, with
four servers to name, I should have gone with Archer, Pike, Kirk and
Picard.

I know - and it's a very warm coat. With fun fur round the hood.

A sweep of (at the time) DECnet revealed about
12 "orac"s and not a single john (which we pointed out, smugly). We also had
cilla, lulu, sandie and dusty (it's an age thing).

We didn't think much about it when a colleague named his
firstborn Blake. However, when we heard that the daughter who
followed was Cally, we had to ask if he was going to persevere
until he reached Orac.

My old department called its Suns one. two. three. and so on. I think
they gave up at seventeen. Then they went on to football grounds for
the PCs. Got quite obscure by the time they had 40 of them...

Some colleges allowed you to request names (within certain bounds of
taste etc). Pick and dura were two early examples frommy college. I'll
leave someone else to work out which college...
